Life with a Phase-Changing Child

Amelia: (Standing in a misty rain while waiting to be put in the car so we can go to church, staring at her feet and the puddle surrounding them; somewhat calmly) I'm Melting.


Note: We do not own or have never in our marriage watched the movie The Wizard of Oz. I can only assume she believed that she was, in fact, melting, and was apparently okay with it.

Most Overused, Misunderstood Number of the Month: 45

A random selection of the number's usage (in some of its many iterations):

Annie: My birthday is in 45 days. (Note: It's in September)

------------------------------------
Annie: We were there for 45 hundred years. 

------------------------------------
Annie: I already have about 45 hundred thousand million of these.
