4th of July guilt

Last year, we drove to the park and saw the fireworks. We stayed in the car while the stars spangled above us. I believe Emme slept through it. Sophie loved it, though. I wrote down what she said:

"It looks like a powerful rainbow man is coming."

Then, later...
"I want to catch one and put it in the sky over our house."

So, I didn't take her this year, and I feel bad. We'll go at Christmas. I would have taken her, but I had a gig, and I thought it started sooner, but when I got there a band was already playing, and I had to wait to set up, so maybe I could have made it, but I don't think so....

Anyway, so we missed it. And Sophie says, "It's no big whoop."

Keep those kid quotes coming!

I really love hearing kids talk; the common phrases of everyday talk have yet to wear grooves in their brains like they have in ours, so it's like they're connecting images and words that we'd never think to combine.

Sometimes the result is poetry: a powerful rainbow man is coming!
