My kids would agree that they have parents as "dumb as muffins." Yes, I'm happy for your award and sad for your tree and have tears in my eyes, but mostly the phrase "dumb as muffins" is now a part of my vocabulary and each time I use it I'll think of you. Enjoy your piece of space in my brain. “poor beleaguered Oscar, his parents dumb as muffins.”

Bon this post for some reason reminded me of the children's book that I was so captivated by when I was little "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. Do you know it? I had actually forgotten all about it and this post so evocatively brought it all back. Little Oscar seems so profoundly in touch with what is going on around him...in that implicit kind of way that kids have of doing things....and if you weren't as busy as you would have liked to have been with the tree in these last years, it was because you were busy teaching Oscar all this sensitivity he has, amongst other things. See? You have been a VERY busy lady, contrary to what you may want to believe with your couch resting! The image of you and Dave beaming with tears of pride at little O is such a beautiful one. Many more of these moments is what I wish for you and your growing family. Maybe Oscar’s magical touch is just what the tree needs…
