On this day:
Thoughts #3
Things over heard today:
As I was coming around a bend on the hiking trial, I can hear rambunctious kids ahead of me. The dismay father tried to contain them. Finally he offered "If you calm down now, I have cookies for you guys." Seems counter-intuitive to offer sugar so they can CALM down, but we've all done it before.
The same kids after getting the cookies now runs ahead of the father. An eight year old, glee with the treat urges the other girls "Hurry up, maybe we can catch up to the boys so we can TEASE them with these cookies." Hmmm... Apparently we start at a young age.
