quick hits

while waiting at the doctor's office today caroline was reciting an alphabet thing they do at school ("a is for apple. a-a-apple.") Q looked defeated and said to me, "she's gooder at words than me."

stopped at a rest area on the garden state parkway for a potty break, i asked caroline to put the hello kitty flip-flops she insisted on wearing on so we could go inside. she whined that they hurt her feet so i asked why she wore them... "because they sparkle."
