After a long day of teaching, running errands, and fighting traffic I am glad to be home this evening. Sam warmly greets me with a verbal waterfall filled with tales of Minecraft, playing outside for hours and hours and hours, what he had for lunch, and how much he missed me.<\/p>\n
“. . . and me and Lydia were playing outside, and we played with Rachel! And guess what, Mom! Rachel is going to a space camp! She gets to go into SPACE!!!” Sam is very excited about all this, and I can tell he’s setting me up to ask if he can go into space, too.<\/p>\n
“Well Baby, she’s not actually going to go into space,” I try to explain. “You pretend to go.”<\/p>\n
“Nope! She said! She told me! She said she’s going to go to SPACE!” he insists.<\/p>\n
“I promise you, Baby, you don’t really go into space. Daddy went to Space Camp when he was a kid; ask him.” I holler at Steven for assistance, “Steven, come tell your son about Space Camp!”<\/p>\n
“It’s so awesome!” Steven yells back, “You get to go into SPACE!!!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
