Moment, April 21st
Ian sat there near the wall for a minute, then promptly walked over to the couch, buried his head in a pillow and cried. When I asked him what was up he mentioned fiddling with the nightlight in the outlet and feeling pain. I immediately opened up my computer notebook program and typed “April 21st, 2013; Ian discovers electricity.”

Nina at the mall:“GUYS! I forgot to buy this thing!” (said in a “look what I found” tone; the stress was on “thing.”)
