Today
While riding home from school today, we passed by a tired-looking woman waiting for the bus. Next to the woman was a Nordstrom bag full of what I'm pretty sure were non-Nordstrom items. The boys stared for a moment, then Colton commented, "Now those are two things you don't see together very often.""What are?" I asked, focusing only on the red light in front of me.
"Nordstrom bags and bus stops."
"Hmm, you're right," I agreed. He was right; normally the only bags I see hanging around the bus stop are brown paper ones--and lady ones.
"You know what else doesn't go together very well?" Colton quizzed.
"What?"
"Chinese food and pudding."
How I managed to raise such an insightful young lad on only a public school education, I'll never know. I'm just glad I did, because now I know what not to serve for dinner tonight. Bags.

There's a guy I often see in Iowa City and Coralville who just bus-hops around town all day, carrying a Dillard's bag. He tried to put the moves on me at Walgreens once.
Oh, and you've raised a very witty son. Congratulations.
Colton's come a long way since "Graurnt!"
mamma didn't raise no fools
P.S. "brown paper ones--and lady ones." Nice! Or, to steal an expression from Motherhussy & sisters, HAR!
