Look at the sign...

Plenty of Christmas updates are forthcoming..
but I had to write a note about this while it's fresh in my mind.

Yesterday, all four of us were in the van, driving back from an afternoon visit to a nearby park, and Bryce was completely sacked out in his car seat. Mama and I figured out that we should stop by the grocery to grab a couple of things for supper that night and decided that Aidan and I would run into the store while Mama stayed in the car with Bryce.

Aidan picked up on this and started lobbying for an alternative plan:

Aidan: Why don't Mom and Aidan go in the store while Daddy waits in the car with Bryce?

Mama explained that Daddy should go, but Aidan wasn't buying it... until finally, he resorted to the authority of an invisible sign:

Aidan: Mom, look at the sign in front of you.

Mama: What sign?

Aidan: The sign in front of you. It says Mom will go with Aidan into the store and Daddy will stay in the car with Bryce. It's an invisible sign, Mom, but I can read it for you.
