    Perhaps, but still that was impressive timing.

    If this is what Elly knows is going to happen, then why is she going back inside to get coffee with Connie?

    I’ll take it a step further: Remembering the past is the easiest way to foresee the future.

    I had a snowball fight with my 10-year-old grandson and my 4-year-old granddaughter last night. Granted, we went easy on my granddaughter, but it was great fun. No tears and no complaining.

    A good explanation of intuition.

    And, of course, Micheal is going to get blamed.

    Hang on Elly! You have YEARS to go yet to use that talent, with that little someone growing in your belly.

    This is the bane of all Moms. Either you nag and they MIGHT listen and stop or you’re quiet and and just wait for the screaming/crying to start.

    Snowball fights were fun and no one actually got hurt if there was no ice in it. Only feelings and ego got hurt. Big deal.

    because no matter how many times a snowball fight happens, someone is always going to come running thru the door crying, the only things that changes is how long it will take for it to happen so she night as well sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee.

    When my son, (an only) and his best friend would get into a fight, one would come sit in the recliner and say how angry he is. I never say anything. After a while the other one would come and and sit in the same recliner and act all huffy. Since I never say anything, they soon get up and go back to playing.

    Elly: Elizabeth, are you bleeding?

    Liz: No, but…

    Elly: Have you broken any bones?

    Liz: No, but…

    Elly: I don’t want to hear it. Go back outside and play with your brother.

    All the comments today bring back so many memories. My older brother loved to tease me and I remember the “Mom, he’s looking at me” bit so well. Fortunately, once we no longer lived in the same house, we got along much better and were very supportive of one another.

    It’s called induction. We couldn’t survive without it.
