Something cute Aod‡n said…
I was walking with Aod‡n listening to him
wish for a “rocket jet pack that kids could wear” and I told him that probably
if they invented one they’d want adults to try it out first and he told me it
would have to be an adult who enjoyed taking risks, unlike me. I protested and
told him I took plenty of risks, saying “I had four sons, didn’t I?” And the
darling child answered “Mom, that’s not a risk, that’s a
privilege!”
