(a real scene between my sweet stepdaughter and her friend, and their first sleepover at our house)
l: don’t roast it so close to the flame. you will burn it!
a: but i want it gooey like yours! (sticks giant marshmallow closer to flame).
l: (examining a‘s form closely) watch it!…here, let me show you…
a: okay. (sighing) why does this take so long?!? i want to eat my s’more right now! i love s’mores!
r: patience is a virtue child (smiling).
a: what is a virtue?
b: virtues are good things to have; like patience…kindness…helpfullness, stuff like that.
a: well, i guess i’m not very virtuous then, because i want to eat my s’more!
laughter. sometimes it is just about laughter and the little (sweet) things that children/people say. enjoy your weekend with whomever makes your belly ache with laughter!
