Book Review

C just finished reading the story of King Midas from a children's anthology.  This is her synopsis:

There was this king, and he loved gold.  And he loved his little daughter Marigold, too.  One day he got the power to turn things to gold.  Everything he touched, or hugged, or kissed, turned to gold!  But then he accidentally turned Marigold to gold, too.  Then he lost the power, and everything went back to normal.  These stories are dramatic, but they're trying to teach me, so I just read them.

A Little Light Reading

Just got off my elliptical and went to check on the kids.
Me: J, you working?
J: Yep! Just finished science and I'm getting ready to work on my paper.
Me: Good job! C, you okay?
C: Yes, I'm great!
Me: What are you doing?
C: Oh, just reading about the Black Death! 🙂
Medieval studies can be a bit macabre.

Unrestrained Laughter

We were getting in the car to return H to the airport, and were in a hurry, so DH started the car before everyone was completely strapped in, though we never move the car until everybody is ready.
C: Wait!!! You need to know the hazards of having an unrestrained child in the car!
Us: Ha ha ha ha!
C: Stop laughing! This is serious business! I'm giving you a safety lesson!
That did not help at all.
