Sooner Than I Think



Bob and I were driving yesterday when we passed a tall, teenage boy on a bike. He had dark hair and was wearing the type of gym shorts that Bob favors. I told Bob that it was hard to believe he was going to be big like that kid some day. He answered that he could believe it, but that when he was that guy's age, he'd be taller.

Crunch Time


"So, Mom? There's only a couple of weeks of summer left and we still have a bunch of things to do on the summer ideas list that I made. I think next week we'll have to go to Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm, and get clown sundaes at the pharmacy, and make a painting of the batman bridge, and go to Huntington Gardens, and have a picnic at the beach. Oh, and Legoland. We should be able to fit all that in, right?"

"Of course it was."
