4th grade started.  I’ve been dreading it all summer, moreso than the 9yo.  She got new clothes, a new backpack, a new teacher.  All i got was the feeling of impending doom that wave after wave of crying fits over homework were going to wash over me like some great tidal wave in any apocalyptic movie [...]

Ab:  How do you make crab dip?
Me:  I dunno.  Mix stuff together.
Ab:  I think it’s crab meat.  And little bits of onions.  And that’s it.
Me:  Uh no, i think there’s more than that in there.  Sour cream?  Or no, cream cheese.
Ab:  You mean creamed cheese?
Me:  Uh no, cream cheese.
Ab:  No, CreameDUH cheese.
Me:  Hahah no, CreaMUH cheese.
Ab: [...]

Me:  We’re in Delaware.  Chuh-kow!
Abby:  I already knew that.
Me:  No but we weren’t in Delaware until i just said chuh-kow.
Abby:  But no i already knew!
Me:  Sure ya did.
Abby:  Because it’s been two hours and after two hours in Delaware and… (only an hour in to the drive)
Me:  Uh huh
Abby:  …and we’ve been on the road and [...]
