Just wanted to let y'all know how you make my day. Even if I don't chime in, the chatter is always interesting.
Right now I'm so tuckered I can hardly think. Yardwork is rewarding but exhausting and we are also still offloading 6 mos worth of stuff and making sure it goes into clean, organized spaces.
So go on: make my day!
Cheers!

Wow. Reading that story gave me PTS! So happy your reactions were right-on and kept you two safe.
It's a good reminder to all of us that we need to always be on our guards and drive SUPER defensively.
Glad you're ok.

He picked out chocolate ice cream, "gold crackers" (Goldfish crackers), oreos, graham crackers, oranges and Juicy Juice drink boxes. I finally told him "We're done! Time to go to Aunt Mel & Aunt Kate's house to eat ice cream."
At the checkout, he pushed his little cart up and started handing the checker his items. He talked to her as he unloaded, "Have you ever been to Chuck E. Cheese? I have!" "Do you have a dog?" "When does Santa Claus come back?" "My mommy loves me!" Checkers and shoppers in the aisles next to us stopped everything and just watched and listened to him. They were mesmerized.
When he'd handed her his last item, he reached in his pocket and proudly pulled out a wallet. He opened it and handed the checker a "debit card." (One of those credit card sized ad cards from a cable tv company.) I slipped her an extra $5 and whispered to her to give him "change." When she handed him the receipt and the $5, saying "Here's your change" he jumped up and down, waving it in front of me. Then he stopped and very seriously asked if we could go back to Chuck E. Cheese.
"Not tonight, Brody, not tonight." But I will definitely be taking him back to the grocery store. He made their day! And mine.

Can I take him to the grocery store? It sounds like Brody has a bright future as a talk show host. No human can ask more questions than a 4 year old and their logic is priceless.

Glad you made it home in one piece and unbruised, Elizabeth. I'm betting your driver's PTSD will magically disappear just minutes before your next chance to go camping.
