Back to the grind. Today went by quickly and before I knew it, I was at school picking up the Kid. He got a new toy this weekend and was all he talked about on the walk home. I was just happy because he walked at a normal pace. His usual pace is somewhere between snail and tortoise. I can't tell you how many times on a walk I have to ask him to walk faster. He does it out of rebellion partly, but mostly it's because he looks at flowers and bugs and picks up every little thing he finds in the street.
We get home and he went to play outside with the neighbor kids. After dinner, the 13 year old asked me some very serious questions. The family will be spending the next 2 weeks in California and he needed to know where he could find items such as Gushers and Fruit Roll-Ups. These kids have put American candy on some sort of pedestal. They rave about it. I've been thinking if there is anything I miss from home seeing as how I'll have visitors soon. But what I miss is crawfish boils and football parties. Anyone know how to ship a crawfish boil? Anyways, I had to explain Wal-Mart to the boy. It was a very serious, 10 minute conversation about candy. These kids crack me up.
I also snapped a few pictures of the garden, just for the hell of it.
