A trip to the grocery...

The grocery store is always an adventure, and not in a good way...tonight came with a couple of new insights.

Fame...Last week at J's school program she gave one of the speeches...the only 1st grader to speak. She talked about being "part Chinese, part Georgian, part big sister and all J!" Tonight at the grocery a man came up to to us and said "Are you the buddha baby?" (her speech mentioned someone called her that as a baby). He was one of the several hundred at the auditorium last week and recognized her. She (and I, for that matter) was quite surprised. So write it down - Age 7y 2m is Js fifteen minutes.

Time...An important fact for the next story is that my younger daughter, S, is s-l-o-w moving. She has been painting her own nails since she was three because so painfully slow that she truly is meticulous...she does well on the balance beam because she enjoys the slower precision but the cartwheels elude her as you cannot do a slow cartwheel (try it, though, as the results are amusing). Well, tonight I got insight into her...I was trying to push the children along in the grocery store as they seemed to want to examine every product on the shelves and it's a school night.

Mom: Hurry up - I don't have all the time in the world...

S: I do in my world.
