                                                              A family friend asked my son how old
                                                              he was. My son looked at him very seriously
                                                              and said, “Well, I’m 3 years old, but
                                                              when I go to Disneyland, I’m 2.”

              My son woke
              me up one

              morning and
              said, “Mommy,
              I have some
              good news
              and some bad
              news. I peed
              in my bed,
              but it dried!”
