Liam was asking a string of “why” questions tonight. Kevin attempted to quell the interrogation.
Kevin: “Why, why, why, why, why. Can you say ‘why, why, why, why, why’ backwards?”
Liam, not missing a beat, turned himself around 180o, and shouted, “Why, why, why, why, why!”

Scene from a New Jersey childhood…
Liam is trying to play trains on the floor. Casey is blocking his way.
Liam: “Mommy! Make Casey move!”
Me: “Oh, is there a dog on your railway tracks?”
Liam: “No. Not really. He’s not a dog. He’s a big traffic jam and my trains can’t go down Route 1 now. It’s a [...]

…in honor of World Breastfeeding Week.
Liam: “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Come, Mommy!”
Me (teasing, looking all around): “What Mommy? I don’t see any Mommy!”

Liam (all seriousness now): “Weeeeellllll, um, you have long hair.”
Me: “Aha. And?”
Liam: “You carry babies and kids around all day. And sometimes ferrets.”
Me: [...]
