Each morning, when the boys and I get up to go walking before dawn, we are twice overtaken by a jogger who follows an expanded version of our circuit. For some reason both boys are obsessed by this jogger and are determined to find out if "both people" are really one and the same. Admittedly it is hard to tell in the dark but this morning we finally found out that it is the same person.
"Let's see where she goes."
"We already know where she goes," I replied. "She has been passing us for weeks."
"Let's stalk her all the way home...and give her cookies!"
I had the urge to run after the jogger and remind her not to accept cookies from strangers.
