little things to note

A few things that tickle me:

On Grandparent's Day last week, I was driving my parents and Mema to the school.  My Dad said I drove like a cab-driver.  This made me feel competent and urbane.  Kinda tough.

I overheard our precocious friend who's 11 say, "I really like the illustrator but he just doesn't get it quite right here."

Advice my supervisor got when he was at seminary: " Just love your wife and get C's."

Calliope had grown petulant at the discussion of her running for Student Council (I know, right!?) and she shouted, "Alright, alright but just tell me the MAIN IDEA of what you have to do!"

During my midday walk with Millie, she always stops at the bottom of the step because she knows I'm going to dial the phone.Once I put the phone up to my ear, then she walks. As if waiting for me.

We just watched a film called Damsels in Distress.  It scratched my magical-realism, self-suspicious of psychology, whimsical and articulate banter itch.

Been wearing great boots I found here. I have been loving my haircut by my homegirl.
