Our family is perfectly normal

resonantThe 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!'"
