Coffee or Tea – If you were me, what would it be?

Coffee or Tea Coffee or Tea If you were me, What would it be? Yeah, I just made that up.  I'm sure you can google it somewhere and find that 2 million other people have already said it - and documented it - before, but hey, it just came to me. This morning, as I sit here at 9:14am, I've already had a glass of water (great for flushing out your overnight uckies), and I can't decide whether I want to make coffee or tea! (more…)

Mispronounced words my kids say that I do not correct…

"Aren't you going to correct him?" I'm sure, at one point or another, we've all been asked this question.  When you're sitting at a restaurant, and the waitress asks your 4 year old what he would like, and he replies "sal-ars", you're forced to make that on-the-spot-decision: do I correct him, or do I tell her what he meant?
