First few minutes of a Saturday

JB: (while we were reading a book where a bird was seated at the feet of a giraffe) We don't step on birds.
Me: No.
JB: Then they would be ruined.
Mommy: Ya.

Side bar: I wish I had thought of this explanation back in the day...

----------

JB: (After asking what a lily pad was and listening to my explanation) Are they stable?

----------

JB: See how many teeth I have (he opens his mouth wide)? How many teeth do you have?
Mommy: (opens her mouth wide)
JB: Do you have some in the back? (mommy opens her mouth wider and JB stares for several seconds) Wow.

Elizabeth Edwards (July 3, 1949 – December 7, 2010)

The United States of America and the world (to say nothing of progressives and the GLBT community) lost a true hero today.



It almost makes her husband not seem likes such a schmuck- that this woman chose him and loved him.

Respect, Mrs. Edwards.
R.I.P.

-------
btw, my mom told me and I balked that it could not possibly be true (until she was proven correct by the almighty internet) that Elizabeth Edwards had a baby when she was 48 and another one when she was 50 years old... Maybe not "hero" so much as "superhero".
