The Family Circus

I need to take a quick break from our week with Darrell and Diana to catch you up on a couple things that have happened recently. For those of you who read the comics and are familiar with the Family Circus, this particular morning's incident will hold more humor. Nathan is little Mr. Independent, doing, with his adorable cuteness, many tasks that he is still too small to do. This morning was no exception. Unbeknownst to Maggie or me, Nathan had woken up and walked down into the kitchen. Feeling thirsty all of a sudden, he headed straight for the refrigerator in search of milk. (The milk in Israel is sold in sacks instead of cartons.) To his delight, he discovered a personal-sized sack of chocolate milk. His trail told the rest. Just like the dotted line followed the little boy in Family Circus up and over obstacles, in houses, and over fences, Nathan's dotted trail of chocolate milk followed him from the refrigerator, beside the table, up and over the chair, past the drawer of plastic cups, out the kitchen, and down the stairs to the office. He was taking the sack of milk and the cup down to Maggie in the office because he wasn't able to get the milk in the cup and needed help. Now he asks for help! What he soon learned is that with big ability comes big responsibility, and he was handed the mop to help clean up. He may be busy and into a lot of things, but is he ever cute!
