I decided, when Jack was about a year-and-a-half old, that God must give new moms a “freebie.”

Yesterday on the way home from preschool Maria and I had this conversation:

Me: Worms? Hmmmm. I don’t know what they make. They eat dirt.
Maria: Nooooooo. Not WORMS! BIRDS! What do BIRDS make?
Me: Birds? Oh. They make nests. [...]
