If you're a good boy

"If you're a good boy during swim lessons and you listen, you can get a 'meal' (a Happy Meal) after your lesson. If you don't listen, you still get to eat, but you get an angry meal at home, not a Happy Meal. I listen!"

How long is six days?

Forever, when it's the last six days of busy season. It's 12:48, I'm still up doing chores (until a minute ago) hoping to hear a Jeep in the driveway. Oh - honest! I hear a Jeep!

Cool story

The last two days in a row, I've heard a pretty cool story in the car on the way to school. You see, it turns out that, prior to being my son, Spiderman discovered Aidan in a spaceship right in front of his (Spiderman's) house. He discovered him and named him, coincidentally, the same name we gave him - first, middle and last. Amazing, right? Then there was some sort of transition, and he came out of my belly and now he's my son. Occasionally, when I'll mention something to him, he'll say, "Mommy, that was before I was your son; that was when Spiderman found me in the spaceship." Excellent.
