One of those ...

If your'e like me and approaching 40, you will understand what I mean by having a "senior moment". It's when you start the coffee pot without adding the coffee; or forget where you left your glasses only to discover, after searching for an hour, that they've been on your face the whole time.

Well, similar to the "senior moment" is a phenomenon I like to call "pre-schooler moments", although it can happen to any child up to about age 10. These are purely innocent distortions of a lesson learned or a comment heard. Like when Neva, now in Grade 4, mentions the United States of Ontario. Or how Milo thinks everyone is as knowledgeable about NASCAR as he is and offers to "bump draft" the 2-year-old at the top of the slide to get him moving.

Or, like today, when Willa asked, "Mommy, how do you spell TV?"

Happy sweeping!
