Sam stories: August 2009 Archives

Maybe they're good luck, too

| | Comments (0)

Sam was swimming in our blow-up pool in the yard this weekend when she swam toward me.

"Mom," she said, "what happens if four-leaf burglars get wet?"

"Four-leaf whats?" I said.

"Four-leaf burglars," she replied. "Like this." And she held out a tiny leaf that looked a bit like a clover.

"Oh, you mean four-leaf clovers," I said.

"Yeah, sure," she said. "So what happens to 'em? Does it take the good luck out of them?"

"No, I don't think so. I think they just get wet," I said between laughs.

The splinter

There was screaming in my house two nights ago.

Wails, cries, pleas to stop it, pleas not to do it again, pleas to "hold me, Mommy, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease just hold me" and enough tears to sink some bathtub toys.

And it was all over a splinter. About a quarter of an inch long.
