The boys have nearly the whole collection of plush Angry Birds, with the only one missing being the green one. At some point, we discovered that in June, some more Angry Bird products would be released. All facts that are basically irrelevant to this story, because, like many of our […]
On the way home from school, Benjamin asked me a complicated question that, on first pondering, didn’t make a whole lot of sense. So, I spent a moment trying to figure it out and noticed that Benjamin was oddly silent. He usually isn’t patient for answers and will keep repeating […]
I think I have mentioned this before, but Benjamin has a habit of trying to tell Matthew what to do or lecturing him. The other night, before Andrea got home from work, I was telling Matthew not to do something. Benjamin, not wanting to miss the opportunity, started to lecture […]
