Imagination Station

While listening to Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 today, Paton observed, "This sounds like bad guy music -- you know when the good guys are chasing the bad guys." Moments later, "This sounds like Tyrannosaurus music."

Fashion Crisis

Paton's summer growth spurt was evidenced on Sunday night as we were getting ready for church. I handed him a pair of pants and instructed him to try them on. He came out asking, "Are these capri's?"

Olympic Moments

had the women's marathon [Olympics] on for only seconds when Paton said, "Daddy, how come the ladies only wear a shirt and underwear for this race?" ...I had a hard time splainin that one....

Dental Thoughts

"My mouth is on fire!"

I accidentally brushed Paton's teeth with the "adult" toothpaste---an extreme, refreshing, spicy, flavor---vs. the kid's version of crest that is quite bland.
