Grandma and Grandpa had two little black kitties, Max and Lil' Bit. Max died a few years ago and Lil' Bit was showing some age. During a visit last year, Li' Bit was not feeling well or acting normally, and then a few days after we left, he passed away. Grandpa insisted that we talk to Sarah about it, even though I was hesitant because I thought she would not understand, and both Mama and Papa were concerned about how she might take it.
Papa: Sarah, remember Grandma and Grandpa's kitty? He got very sick and went to sleep and won't wake up again. They are going to put him under the ground in the back yard.
Sarah (thinks) (laughs): Silly kitty!

Congratulations Grandma!
Congratulations today to Grandma, who is enjoying her first day as a newly retired person. Yesterday she had 150 people out for her "surprise" retirement party at her office, which filled her work and surrounding parking lots to overflowing - people could not find a place to park. Also someone even came all the way out from Cleveland to celebrate with her. We are excited for Grandma to have some more time to relax and explore hobbies like her loom in the basement that she has wanted to set up for so long.
We wish Grandma and Grandpa a long, long, and happy retirement together and hope that they will come for a visit soon!

Fast Food
Mama/Papa at McDonalds/In-N-Out to Sarah/Stephen:
"Eat your burger! No more fries until you eat another bite of burger!"
(Repeat for other junk food like pizza.)
Yes, we know, we are terrible parents.
(But better to eat out once in a blue moon than have our cook suffer a nervous breakdown, right?)

School Bus
Sarah loves the idea of going on a school bus, even though she has never been on one. This conversation is from a few days before she started her Head Start "school."
Sarah (from back seat): Papa, when you're big like me, you can go on the school bus. This big! (Holds hands out) Not this big! (Holds hands out). That's good. You want to go there? You have to be big.
