Lessons From This Week

I learned from the four-year-old, who was chatting with her two four-year-old friends in the backseat of the car, that she is the smartest person in our family. I think she is on to the fact that I have no idea what I am doing. Hopefully, she doesn't tell the other family members.

I learned that my alarm clock will let me snooze for only one hour. Then it gives up on me ever getting out of bed.

And when you are really looking forward to something (for example...seeing your sister, parents and grandmother), time reeeeeeaaaaaalllllly drags along.

Overheard in the Backseat

This episode actually happened a few months ago on a road trip to Arkansas. It had popped up in my memory and then I heard the girls recalling it...so I thought I'd share it.

11-year-old to younger sister: "You are my favorite 8-year-old."
Younger sister: "I'm 9."
