Spring is undeniably among us at last.
I am so eager for summer to arrive, it’s unreal. The sheer amount of school work I’m receiving these days is enough to make anybody wish to stick their head in an oven, if ever so briefly. I, fortunately, have not succumbed to such a lurid inner desire as of yet. But who knows what tomorrow will bring.
The ever improving temperatures outside bring back fond memories of previous summers. Last summer brought several Ohio trips, and I unfortunately have not been back since. Liam was still quite young, at an adorable stage prior to the horrendous terrible twos. I like to think of it as the calm before the storm.
We were driving through the seedy quarters of urban Michigan, en route to Ohio; Liam, Ben and I in the back seat. Amid the factories, abandoned houses and smog were enormous signs advertising various strip clubs and the like. Pictured were often trashy looking females, no doubt in attempts to look alluring to sleazy men driving on the interstate. We passed one such bill board and Liam, gazing intently out the window, immediately pointed his nineteen month old finger at the sign and proclaimed ‘MOMMY!’
Ben and I were understandably unable to control the ensuing laughter.

What a smart child. You must teach the young monk the gangster ways as he grows older.

Liam is catching on. I am forever proud of his sheer brilliance. I have often feared that his constant interaction with less intelligent toddlers will jeopardize this gift of brilliance. But it’s occasions such as these that make me feel confident that he will stay this way forever.

That last story was pure genius.
Liam deserves a medal.
