Flowers

Today I was stuck in traffic on the way from work to pick up Lillian at school. No surprise. I arrived to pick her up 25 minutes after school let out. Quite proudly, she announced that she had called Dad to tell him I didn't show up, and Dad was on his way. He made it home 3 minutes after I did. In order to not waste the extra time he now had, he promptly had a nap. But just before he did, we overheard Lillian telling Damian, in that older-sisterly -I will now instruct you- tone of voice:
-Damian, you will have to get flowers for your wife when you get married.
-No I don't.
-Yes you do, or you won't have any children.
And so the birds and the bees are made clear. It's all about flowers.

In the Car

Just a quick note; when Ember and I are out running errands and the sun dips low in the sky, she wails "the sun is looking at me", which means it's shining in her eyes and she doesn't like it.
