My future grandchildren...

Little Miss recently informed me that when she grows up and marries, she will have four children. Their names will be Bob, Rosie, Pinkie and Junior.

She pointed out that Pinkie is after the color, not the little finger.

Also, she said that she will pick the names for the older two, and that she would let her husband name the younger two. As long as he names them Pinkie and Junior.

I like the way she thinks.

Words to live by...

Occasionally in my role as a mother, I give my children instruction and guidance that I feel I should share. Then, as we incoroprate these pearls of wisdom into our lives, all of us can be enlightened and, hopefully, more successful in all areas of life.

Today was such a moment.

"Don't call your brother weiner-baby."

There. Go and do.
