Charlie (during a car ride recently….some of the best and most informative conversations with my children occur in cars while my back is to them): “A girl in my school said that first my eyes are blue, then green, then they go back to dark blue….”

“Wow, Charlie,” I say. “A girl who notices that much about your eyes, probably really likes you…”

“Yep. She probably loves me.”

“Do you love her?”

“Nah…I don’t know what color her eyes are.”
