My Seussical Life for 2004 January 23

Samuel turns up his nose at oatmeal, now. I can't say for sure where he learned the concept of being picky, but I am guessing that his elder brother had some play in the matter. He will devour an orange, which Atticus visibly refuses to eat, so the battle is not all lost.

Coming into the apartment from the car, I startle Atticus.

"Woah, you scared me."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"That's okay. It was my fault."
