A Close One
"How long until we're home, Dad?"
"We'll be home in a couple of minutes."
"Hey, Dad?"
"Hold on that guy's not stopping that guy's not ---"
"Dad!"
"Whoa."
"That was a close one."
"Yeah, that guy was on his cell phone and blew right through the stop sign."
"You're a good driver, Dad."
"Thanks, Pal."
"Fifty points to Gryffindor."

Loving this. Via my friend Jen.
Also loving this. Via our friend Jane.
And then... Our phenomenal friend Ellie is fighting cancer. What started out as a group of girls putting together something silly to cheer her up, became a sweet story of timing and friendship across the miles. Go here to read the story, see the video, and give Ellie some love. She is an amazing lady.
Happy Sunday.

My Day of Lucky By Bob Rosenberg
1. I got to have a play-date at my house with friend Ringo. Real lucky.
2. Me and Ringo gave each other Christmas presents and I got some Legos and a magic wand and some other good things and those were all luckies.
3. I wore the monkey-in-a-Santa-hat pajamas all day until it was time to go to swim class. Lucky!
4. It was super cold so my swim teacher let us go in the Jacuzzi pool where there's bubbles and jets and everything. Also lucky.
5. I heard my favorite song on the radio and you can't make the radio do what you want because it just does what it wants and I heard my favorite so that was awesome lucky.
6. We had pizza for dinner. This was the luckiest day of my ever. So far.

Suggestions
"Mom? How come you never go swimming?"
"It's not my favorite thing. I like watching you swim though."
"Do you even have a swim suit?"
"I do."
"You should wear it."
"I'll take that into consideration."
"You should also go running instead of just doing walking around."
"Thanks for your input."

When You Gotta
"Mom? I've gotta go."
"Can you hold it? We'll be home in a minute."
"I can't hold it."
"Let me pull the car over, we'll find a tree or something."
"I can't do it out there. It's not a pee."
"Here's a plastic bag. You can go in that."
"People will see me!"
"Just stay in the back seat. No one can see you. It'll be fun. Like camping."
"How is this like camping, Mom? This is not like camping. I never want to go camping."

"Mama! Wake up! I had a bad dream."
"Oh, honey. What was it about?"
"It was about a snake."
"And it was scary?"
"Yeah."
"But you like snakes."
"It wasn't the snake part of him that was scary, it was his evil laugh."

Bob!
"There you are!"
"Mom! I couldn't find you all over the store!"
"I know I couldn't find you either! I was so worried! Did you hear me calling you?"
"I was calling you too!"
"Poor, honey."
"Mom, I was going to ask someone who works in the store to help me find you because that's a good idea but then I decided to start crying instead."

"What's that, Bob?"
"I really don't like the word no."
"I see."
"So could you not use it on me anymore?"

"Um... Yes?"
