A Few Things

Brenden, inspecting and opening a box of Girl Scout cookies, "I need to eat these before September."
Brief thoughtful pause.
"That's the real reason they put those dates on there. So that you eat them all and then you run out and have to go buy more."

Also a few quotes from my Sunbeams:

• Randomly, in the middle of class, "I love Santa!"
• Handing me back a white crayon, "This one doesn't work." Same child a couple weeks later after coloring on a piece of blue construction paper, "It works now!"
• Learning about Samuel the Lamanite, "Is he a superhero?"

Also also, a picture because I have one. Look closely:

Brenden is actually holding two books in his hands there. The titles of these books are, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. Guess which one he's actually reading.
