My daughter Julia came to live with me a year ago for school. It isn't easy for me to raise someone who is practically my 8-year-old clone, but that is exactly what I find I am doing with Julia. Through our judo and soccer practices, reading, writing and arithmetic, Girl Scouts, and Japanese language classes, we occasionally have a conversation that connects us both in a sometimes deep and usually humorous way. Hopefully, you will be as entertained as we are.
Still Moving
Daddy is rushing in his car with Julia to get her and some equipment to a Girl Scout cookie sale. Daddy “stops” at a stop sign but he does not count how long he waits at the sign…
Julia: Daddy, aren’t you supposed to stop at that sign?
(pause)
Daddy: I did.
Julia: Then why are we still moving?
