So Avadore's been learning to read, and write and do than one 'rithmatic thing as children tend to do at school.

Several months ago, because he has that sort of a sense of humor, Rice bought me a shirt that reads, "Some call it stalking, I call it love". I don't wear it often, but I was wearing it tonight.

During dinner, Avadore was staring at my chest, his eyes huge, and his little mouth just a movin'. I wasn't sure what to make of this. I finally asked him what was up, and Avadore said, "Mommy, what's 'stalking'?" He didn't pronounce it perfectly, but it was entirely too close...

It's time for Rice and I to clean up our lives...
