Leftovers

I have years worth of anecdotal evidence to back up the outlandish claim I am about to make: The leftover Halloween candy (IF there are leftovers) tend to be the items that the hander outer most enjoys. Suspicious.

Grade numero 2

When I was in Grade 2 I found out that one of my classmates was told by her dentist that she would not start losing her baby teeth until she was ten years old. This would put her in at least Grade 4, an imposibly long time away. I remember repeating this story to my friends, the tone of voice as heavy and pitying as a 40 year old woman describing someone else's divorce. At the time this was the biggest tragedy that had ever entered my world. The social injustice of having to post pone the tooth fairy.

Winter Preparations

It is getting colder out, no snow out here as of yet, but I have added a scarf to my autumn layers. Soon I will put away my fall coat and bring out the long warm winter coat. I will dig up my winter boots, and pull out the rainbow of scarves. The shorts will be swapped out for sweaters and ear muffs will become a permanent feature. Things are getting cozy.
