Punch Lines





He appears behind where I sit at the computer
and says with wide dare-you-to-believe-me eyes,

"Mom,
Colton is SO AWESOME."

"He can put 37 grapes in his mouth at one time!"

He observes my jaw-drop with satisfaction, puts his cereal bowl in the dishwasher,
and leaves me to turn back to my typing,
wondering at the post-fodder that so often just drops neatly into my lap.

I love it! I need to start walking around with a recorder. Many, many parents would be amazed (or freaked out) by the things the kids tell us every day.

That IS a lot of grapes, by the way.

You are hilarious! And your son is awesome, too.
