As we scrambled to get out the door and I told them for the fifty billionth time to get their shoes on I final utter the words that any child over the age of six knows is an utterly empty threat.

“People who don’t get their shoes on will not be going to pick up Daddy with me”

and a very wise Four Year old turned to me and said,

“but Mama, we es not people….we es just kids…”

Tru dat.
