Morgan (11) commented tonight,  "My friend really believes that mermaids are real."

Jackie, knowingly shaking her head replied,  "Isn't that funny?  I mean, some people say mermaids are real and Santa's not.  Can you believe that?"

Then in a sing-song voice, Jackie continues, "Santa brings us gifts, eats the cookies . . . "

Tonight Henry came down in his cute little red and blue Star Wars jammies.

Henry:  "Mom, can I have a cuddle?"

Me:  "Hmmmmm . . . "  I was busy on the computer.

Henry:  "Mom, I'm a good cuddler.  And besides that. . . I'm cute."

How could I resist this sweet kid?  Impossible.
