There’s ‘Mr. Teapot!’” I looked askance at him. “Mr. Teapot??!!” He shrugged his shoulders. “Shortest one on the team.” I stared at this 6 year old. “You are the same size he is.” Him: “I’m just a little taller.” That’s ok Josh.

Sam: “Mom, I can’t clean up my toys because that will make me too tired.”Me: “Sam, I can’t make you dinner because that will make me too tired.” The logic. It burns.

“Hey mom… look! Petsmart is right next to Home Depot… can we go?” asked Josh. I managed some half-hearted enthusiasm through coughing spells.
