I WRITE TO HONOR FEISTY MARRIAGES. “Honor” might be a bit strong, but let us get it straight from the beginning: a zesty relationship is the highlight of my life. I understand that not everyone feels the same, . . .

True, Indeed

(Walking 4-year-old out of the pediatrician’s exam room, where he was found to have a sinus infection, an ear infection, and strep throat.)

Receptionist: Would you like a sticker, Sam? (Points to the plexiglass sticker display, which recently replaced the candy basket.)

Sam: *shakes head*

We walk out of the office.

Me: No sticker, huh?

Sam: Stickers are crap.

    Thanks, ladies. Let’s just say I was glad he waited until we were out of earshot.

    And yes, compared to Twix minis, stickers ARE crap.

    Is he feeling better? That’s quite a triple play of ailments to have all at the same time. Ouch! No wonder stickers weren’t doing it for him anymore.

    HAHAHAHHAHAHA… I’m waiting for you to post his other witty comment about mustangs, lamborghinis and the third item… :)
