you were lucky!

So syd is going to her 3rd grade field trip today. Monterey Bay Aquarium! i am driving her to the school at 7am this morning, just her and me. all she has with her is a sack lunch. we are talking and i say, "do you want to take anything else? a book or a toy or something? it is a 3 hour drive."

she says "o no, i'll be fine. i have this rubberband on my wrist."

then she proceeds to show me 101 things you can play with a rubberband: shapes you can make, pretend it is a hula hoop for your finger, stuff you can flick, even a tiny version of jacob's ladder (remember that string game?).

i love that kid.
