A "MOM" BLOG FOR ALL OF US

You may wonder about the title of my blog. Let me explain. One day long ago when I was getting my son ready for his bath, he asked if I could "Make it warmer." I was surprised by this request as the water seemed plenty warm to me, if not hot. Immediately I received a treasured glimpse into the amazing mind of a child: what he really wanted was for the water to be cooled. After all, he explained in his kid-like way: warm is COOLER than hot. "Make it warmer." I thought that was brilliant. I still do.

Quote of the Day

You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back.

School's Out

Today my Grandma was telling me how when my uncle was little, he'd cry about having to go to school. Then, at lunch time, he'd walk home and tell her that "school was out for the day." Grandma would call the principal and he would laugh and say to send him back. My uncle went on to become...a teacher. :)
