During dinner last night, J reported a story that I simply have to relate… <\/p>\n
She teaches at the school the boys attend, and occasionally runs across them there. Yesterday, she saw our youngest walking across the playground, followed closely by a girl who was a few inches taller than him.<\/p>\n

Caught off guard, J answered much as I would have: “Oh yeah?”<\/p>\n
