Conversational Tactics

There's something to be said for a person who is proud of who they have become.  Indeed, variety and diversity are the spices of life.  I wonder, however, if a five-year-old really knows.  My five-year-old certainly felt that he had put his finger right on the pulse.

During a routine visit from the Schwan's man, I left Justin at the front door while I went to fetch my checkbook.  I returned to find Justin leaving the room and the man at the door in stitches.  When I gave him a quizzical look (being thankful that he had been laughing instead of crying) he said,

"Your son asked me if I liked my job and then told me that, 'Sometimes my parents have a hard time handling me.'"

You don't know the half of it.
