kids

Scene: It's a brisk spring day and I go outside to grab my cup out of the yard where I left it earlier.  Two children were playing basketball a few moments earlier, but now the younger child is crying.

"Daaaad! James kicked me in the face!"

I look at the older child. I see the look in his eyes; I know what he is thinking. After a pause, he replies.

"Well, yah, that's because his face was too close to my foot!"

My four year old daughter is jumping around, excited about making cookies, because she just woke up and had a dream about making cookies. I explained we had to wait until Mommy and Daddy were ready to make cookies, and why don't you go eat some breakfast while you wait? She said "Dad, I'm not hungry for breakfast! I'm hungry for cookies!"
