November 6:
Overheard at my house:
Hamish: what was that white stuff I saw you and daddy eating last night?
Me: [when???] um that was ice cream
Hamish: why were you eating ice cream?
Me: well because our throats hurt and we thought it might make them feel better. And we like ice cream
Hamish: Mom, I think my throat hurts a little bit.
Me: Hamish, is that a true thing? Be careful that you are only saying true things.
Hamish: [pause] Mom, when other people have ice cream it makes me want some really, really bad.

Psalms 139:9-10 If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
Can't you just email me?
