Snippets

In the car -- on the freeway, early one morning on our way to IRC preschool.

"Mommy."
"What is it Alex?"
"I don't see any police. Do you see any police?"
"No."
"That means we can go FAST!!"
(OH Lord. What am I teaching my children?)

********
At the dinner table.

"Mommy, close your eyes."
"OK, Alex. They're closed."
And she pokes me in the eye.
"OUCH! Alex what did you do that for? That hurt honey. You shouldn't poke people in the eye. It hurts."
"But I didn't poke you in the other eye!"
