The other day I was watching an old favorite “Merrily We Live” (you can watch the whole thing on youtube if you haven’t seen it yet…it’s a great film!). Not to give anything away, but in the end there is a hilarious scene where people keep fainting. They yell to each other to “get the smelling salts”! My husband commented on this and said, “How crazy is it that people fainted so much that they kept smelling salts on hand?!” So true. Why did people faint so much back then? Was it the corsets they wore or was there less oxygen in the air? Are we just hardier humans nowadays? So weird.

My son’s preschool teacher is amazing. She has this fantastic ability to remember conversations she’s had with him and report back to me. Here was an email I received from her last week:

Yesterday Liam asked me if I was a morning person or a night person? I asked, “What about afternoon person?” He said, “I didn’t think about that…Are you an afternoon person?” I said, ” I am a morning person which is the perfect time for you to get here so that I can spend time with you.” He said, ” I am a morning person, too, and I get up very early…sometimes I stay up late, so I guess I’m a night owl too.” I laughed and said, “You know yourself really well, Liam.” He said, “I live in me, so yeah, I know me.”

Oh that kid. Such an old man in a four-year-old body.
