Thomas Hardy...where have you been all my life?
If you eat even one single oreo, right before you fall down from a slide and need stitches, you will have to wait five hours before getting the general anesthesia for surgery (Eliot).
Kindergarteners cooking in class: it's all fun and games until someone gets salmonella. And needs to be hospitalized with severe dehydration (Eliot, again).
My husband is a better cook than I am (just wondering why he waited 14 years to prove it...)
After a life-long rejection of fantasy books, I finally succumbed and read one of Alexander's Christmas presents: Eragon...who knew?

Changing schools has in no way influenced the amount of time Alexander dedicates to homework.
Gardening is possible even in a high rise Singapore condo (see photo).
