After you've been with someone for awhile, you wind up with your own way of communicating. For example, the other day April hollered at me, "What are you looking for in that closet?"
"Nothing!" I hollered back.
"Well," she shouted, "it's not in there! Look under the bed!"
The youngest child of seven was the only boy in the family. He often heard people saying how grown up his sisters were getting so he asked his mother when he was going to be a grown up.
She smiled, stooped down, and hugged him saying, "My sweet boy, one day you'll be a responsible adult but please know, since you're a guy you'll never actually grow up."
I was standing in a lunch line with my husband when the guy in front of us looked down at my very pregnant belly, smiled, and asked, “What are you having?”
My impatient husband replied, “A steak sandwich.”
A lady dropped her handbag in the bustle of holiday shopping. An honest, little boy noticed her drop the handbag, so he picked it up and returned it to her. The lady looked into her handbag and commented, "Hmm... That's funny. When I lost my bag there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills."
The boy quickly replied, "That's right, lady. The last time I found a purse, the owner didn't have any change for a reward."
