to figure this out. How long will it take you?
Nathan is eating his cereal this morning, he stops and asks me, "Mom, do you believe in side-kicks?"
"Side-kicks? Uh, yeah, like Robin, you mean?"
"Well, because your sister, she KNEW that santa was bringing us a game cube and she and James got us those games, AND she knew what James was getting her for christmas! Some people just can see the future."
I just got that while I was folding laundry. I get the "Monday morning brain" award this week!
Well, I’m runner up for the award cuz I had to read your post twice through to get it. Cute.
Read it twice and then said it out loud and then totally got it.

Then posted twice – AND I’ve already had coffee today. I get to be Dork of the day.
Took me a second read to get it too. Too funny!
I’m in the same boat. Had to read it twice!
Gotta love the little ones.
Well, just for the record, your sister IS a “side-kick” and she comes from a long line of them, too. Both her mother and her grandmothers way back on her Father’s side were “side-kicks.” Comes in very handy sometimes.
Sorry folks. Need a little help here.

OH WAIT. Just as I typed it I got it.
Ha!
It took me a moment too this morning – I think there was a Far Side cartoon of a store that rented out sidekicks – When Nate started talking about the Christmas presents it clicked for me. I’d already had some coffee at that point though.
I didn’t get it on the first try, either… but I didn’t get all the way to re-reading it… I just kept repeating “side-kicks” and finally understood. She’s side-kick… as in: Clare Boy Aunt!
Read it THREE times…what!?!
Went to comment and ask …What!?!
It wasn’t until I read “mom’s” comment
that things fell into place.
Can I have Monday morning brain at night?
Still Life,
That is SO FUNNY because the first thing I thought when I realized that it had been three hours since he said that was how many of those puzzles you could have done in that time, and I thought that YOU of all people would be laughing at me the most! Laughing nicely, of course, but laughing at what an airhead I am all the same. Heh
