Nose!

Scene: A park. Friday evening.

I walk in.

Noah (age 4 1/2): Look! My friend is here!

Me: What friend?

Noah: YOU!

Me: Mark this down, April 30, 2010 Noah is thrilled to see me.

Me, moments later: Noah, what’s my name?

Noah: What is your name?

Me: Heather.

Noah: Feather! That’s a nice name.

Me, in tears.
