Quote of the week

Over the last few months, Caleb has been voluntarily participating in a reading/book club through his elementary school (they've been reading the novel "Swindle"). As an avid reader myself I am no less than thrilled he too is a bookworm. My heart swelled with pride when he informed me he wanted to participate in the reading group. After finishing the book, all of the reading/book club participants were invited to attend the library this past Saturday morning for snacks, discussion, and a live video chat with the author of "Swindle". Caleb was extremely excited about attending and requested we leave the house early to ensure we would be able to get "good seats". Due to recent inner city road construction, I decided to take the back roads to the local library to avoid any traffic and/or delays. Uncharacteristically, Caleb was very quiet during the car ride. Mistakenly believing he was anxious about the library event I asked him if he was nervous about attending. His response, "No mommy I am not nervous about going to the library but you are making me very nervous driving on these curvy roads".
