Question of the Day

An inquiry from our very cute 3-year-old cousin to his mom: "I tickle you with stinky socks?!"
Love it :)

Time

It was one of those weird weekends where nothing really sounded fun to me. I realized I had spent most of it in one room watching tv while my son and husband were in the other. My son came out 6-ish Sun eve and said "I'm so bored." That definitely hit home with me! We decided to go to the used bookstore and browse. We didn't find anything great to purchase, but we enjoyed spending time together. My weekend was brightened then and there.

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.

A child seldom needs a good talking to as a good listening to.

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. :)
