The inch, 12, to his sister whose feet are too close to him: "MM, move your feet."

The MM: "They're MY feet."

At the kids' school they have this deeply-embedded curriculum on the traits of a good citizen/human. They spend part of every day talking about being tolerant, inquisitive, reflective, knowledgeable, caring, etc.


Minifobette spent a considerable amount of time today struggling with how a mirror could possibly be objectively self-aware and consider its own role in a situation (i.e., be reflective.)

The Millimeter's ACME game is strong. I saw these on the bathroom floor the other day, they are little wagons from her Playmobil castle.

The mm is at it again. I'm sure she is being sarcastic but there is a mix of her being proud of her ghastly toenails, and the hope that she's hit on a legit money making idea.

She's got a wicked dry sense of humor and has already bested me in intelligence. Still, she is a bit nutty.

Me: OMG You need to trim your toenails.
MM: *trims nails - calls me over to see* I think I can sell these on eBay.

So my grandson from CT was down to visit with his mother. We had an easy breakfast and I was feeling pretty good. He and I went for a ride on the bike. Last stop was the Pireway boat ramp. A lovely spot on the Waccamaw River.

Feeling better pa pa?

I am a happy camper Billy.

You like camping too pa pa?
Then he thought about it and asked if that was one of those old fashioned corny sayings like "cool" or "man" or "dude" or.... I said thats enough I get point.
