Things are what they are, and I don't really read too much into every little thing that transpires.

Having nearly gone nuts in the past trying to do that, I've now given up. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

When I asked him why, he said, "You're wearing a pink skirt."

It drives the 13 year old nuts, makes the 11 year old smile in a sweet, melancholic way, and the baby who is almost 10, giggle. Kind of sums up what being a parent is all about. What a ride...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
