Thinking Big

(Magnets were a big deal at camp this year.)

Child: Mom, can we get one of those big magnets that can lift a car?

Parent: No, I'm afraid that kind of thing is too big to bring to the house.

Child: But we could have it deliverrrred!

Parent: [incomprehensible laughter]

Child: No, really, we can have it delivered!!

Parent: [Reflects that Amazon Prime has its hidden costs.]

Around lunchtime, we went on a Santa Cruz hike and came back to my mother-in-law's accompanied by a banana slug and ladybug. Then we drove the gorgeous stretch of Highway 1 between Santa Cruz and Morro Bay. We were checking in to the very nice Anderson Inn when the following conversation took place:

Innkeeper (finishing check-in process): Oh, and we don't allow pets.

Child: But we have pets!

Innkeeper (wondering if I'm going to try to smuggle an Alsatian upstairs): Really?

Child: Yes! A banana slug and a ladybug.

Innkeeper: [eyes me quizzically]

Child: Oh wait — we let the banana slug go, and the ladybug flew away...now what we have is a bucket of slime.
