Should I Be Concerned?

Colton, who is home from school sick today, comes wandering into the living room from his bedroom.

"Hey, buddy--how are you feeling?" I ask.
"Okay, I guess," he replies.
"Mom, can I have a Coke?"
"Sure." I answer.
He cracks open the Coke and goes on to tell me, "I've been watching a documentary about the prohibition--and for some reason it's making me really thirsty."

Should I be concerned?

Caprese Charisee

I just got done pulling up some old basil plants from my backyard garden box. Now, whenever I get a whiff of my hands, I can't help but thinking that I should eat them with some sliced tomatoes, mozarella, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Italian self-cannibalism--it's a good thing.

No More Apologies

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad! I'm sorry I screamed at you!" Carter screamed to his father.
