ljgeoffI was emailing Mike night-before-last, and our four-year-old was sprawled out on the floor, looking at his brothers' magic cards. Out of the blue, he said, "Mom, don't leave the refrigerator door open, or your dog and cats will eat all of the food."
Since I had just got home from work, I wondered if he was speaking from experience, but decided Not To Go There. Instead, I said, "That sounds like good advice. Do you have any more good advice?"
"Hmm," he tapped his chin, "don't sleep out in your yard, because your bed isn't out there."
"Ah," I said, thinking about an incident involving a very drunk not-yet ex-husband, "that's pretty good advice, too. What else?"
"Remember to get your toys for the shower before you get wet." He was getting into it, now. "And," he finished, "always have a popsicle before you go to bed."
It was late, but we had popsicles, and he kissed me goodnight with cold cherry lips.
