What Holiday?



This morning, at 6:30 a.m., I sat down and had a nice little breakfast with my son before we headed off to work and school. John, who has crowned himself  the "Hot-breakfast Dad,"  had made a healthy bowl of oatmeal for each of us.

From the kitchen he asked our son, "Guess what holiday we're celebrating today?"

"The sinking of the Titanic?" replied the eighth-grader.

"Close," said the Hot-breakfast Dad. 

"It's your mom's birthday."

Nice. Real nice.

I just love my family.
