Whoever said "Children should be seen and not heard" would have met his match in our son Joshua, although I'm sure he's not the only kid who asks multiple questions without waiting to hear the answers. However, the memory of a few days ago at the dinner table still makes me laugh.

Joshua barely even paused. "Why do you say 'More eating, less talking' Mommy?"

Now that I think about how much he talks, I wonder less why I sometimes accidentally call him by my brother's name, Alec.
