Lately I've been encouraging Dorothy to solve her own problems, especially at school. So, I couldn't fuss at her when she came home from picture day. "Mom," she complained, "you forgot to put something special in my hair for picture day like I asked, so I had to make my own decorations." "What did you do?" I asked evenly. "I had to cut out circles of white paper, color them blue, and stick them in my hair before the picture," she informed me.
Dorothy got her flu shot at the doctor and arrived at school late. I picked her up and asked, "Did you show everybody your band-aid?" "I tried," she answered. "The teacher told me to stop bringing it up."
Brian bought Frosted Flakes, which for some reason Dorothy calls "Tony," as in, "What would you like for breakfast this morning?" "Tony."
