Grasshopper, anyone?

Last night at the dinner table, my 3-year-old daughter Willa leaned across the table to reach some bread and butter. When she sat back down, she pulled her placemat with her and her plate nearly fell in her lap. Bob quickly caught the plate and a minor disaster was averted.

"Good catch, Daddy, " I said with a sigh of relief.

"I a good catcher, too, you know, " Willa chimed in, seemingly oblivious to what had just transpired.

"Yes, you are," we said encouragingly.

"Ya! I can catch bugs with my tongue!"

Happy sweeping!
