The kidlet has discovered that it's relatively easy (for a kid who's out of school and has a lot of time on her hands) to use the tip of a pair of scissors to bore a hole in a peach pit, resulting in ... well, a peach pit, but one that you can use as a large and odd-looking bead.

Tonight I ate a peach and washed up the pit for her. So we're standing in the kitchen, and I hand her this clean peach pit and say, "This is for you," and she takes it and says, very pleased, "Thank you!" -- and then we both look at each other and burst out laughing, because her mother gave her a peach pit and she said thank you.

I told her: "When you're getting cranky with your kids, you'll have to tell them, 'In my day, we only had peach pits! And we were glad to get them, too!'"

Wait, don't peach pits have cyanide inside? Or is that a myth?

Those are great moments. When you're old and cranky with pretty much everybody (which, if you're me, was last week), you'll call her up and remind her of the peach pit thing and you'll laugh together and it'll be pretty awesome.
