Strawberry Picking

Well, we tried this year. We lasted about 15 minutes before the skies opened up.

With 4 comes wisdom

We were driving home the other day and we passed Christopher's 'old parents' house.

"Mommy, remember when I was 3 and I was a baby and I told you I had old parents?"

"That was 3 weeks ago bud."

"Yeah ... well ... I am 4 now and a big boy.  I wanted to tell you I never had old parents.  I made them up.  I needed to tell you so you didn't think I was crazy."

Ah yes, with age comes wisdom.  Who wants to be labeled as crazy?  Madeleine was about 4 when we learned her imaginary sister Tracy was actually a 50 year old male friend of David's (so not so imaginary).

Truth be told, I'd rather be rid of the irrational fear of bugs (even ants) or the fear of being in a room by himself, than to be rid of the old parents.  At least they provided some entertainment.
