The Inspiration

We were visiting my parents and my grandmother was there. As we were leaving to head home, our 5-year-old kept hugging his great-grandmother over and over and telling her, "I just can't stop hugging you!" My grandmother was loving it! After a couple of minutes of this, we were finally able to convince him to join us in the car to leave. Giving her one last squeeze, he said to his great-grandmother, "Bye! Call me when you die!"

This is our inspiration. The truly hilarious, way-better-than-fiction, actual sayings and experiences with the wee little folk around us is what this blog is all about. We invite you to share the joy!

Failure To Launch

My wife is always telling our kids that except for very limited exceptions (e.g., college), they can never leave home and are going to stay with us forever because she would miss them too much.

So the other night at dinner, out of nowhere, our 6 year-old turned to his mom and said:

"Mom, guess what?!  I never have to leave you! I can go to college in my pajamas." (Mom has quizzical look on her face). "No for real, I saw it on TV.  It was on a commercial.  You can go to college in your pajamas on your computer.  I never have to leave home!"

Hurray for technological independence!
