Quote of the Day

Eleanor likes Altoids. Because they are "very strong." Yesterday, she had an empty tin and was offering me and Henry pretend Altoids when she looked around and said,

"Whobody else wants one?"

Two reasons I love this: 1) combining "who else wants one" and "anybody else want one" is just pure genius. She is going beyond words that she has heard and using her own smarts to make up very logical alternatives. And, 2) her imagination is just fantastic. The way she was looking around it seemed to me like there were a hundred people standing around waiting to be offered an Altoid.
