mondays

Last night when I was putting Juma to bed, we had our usual discussion about whatever is on his mind.

Juma: Mom, I hate Mondays.

Sarah: Lots of people hate Mondays, honey.

Juma: But, Mom, I really hate Mondays.

Sarah: Why?

Juma: Because on Monday, that means that there's another day I have to go to school, and then another, and then another, and then ANOTHER!

Sarah: Yep, that's true. Good night, bud.

Juma: But wait, Mom.

Sarah: What?

Juma: Just kidding, I mean I love Mondays.

Sarah: How come?

Juma: Because that means I get to go learn stuff the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day so I can grow up to be a scientist!

your child seriously amazes me, sarah! (and justin) he is so cute. i love how his little brain works and reasons. very cool.

i am so sad that i didn't get to see you when i was in california. the trip was really busy and I honestly wasn't online very much so i didn't see your post until i was in a place called vacaville. do you know where that is? how far is that from you? AND where exactly are you??

Malia- Thanks!

I'm so sorry we missed each other. I have no idea where Vacaville is, but SF is about 2.5 hours away from us.
