So I just looked out the window. And I saw the big tree next to our driveway. I can't remember if it's a maple or what it is...but I was reminded of a day last year, when my son Ollie said, "I like Duckfoot Leafis."

Duckfoot Leafis?

He said this with a completely straight face. So I knew to take him seriously. And I asked, "Buddy, what's a duckfoot leafis?"

And he said, "See the leafis on that tree? They are duckfoots."

It's true. Each of the leafis (his plural for leaf) is shaped like a duck's foot. But I had never noticed it before. Now when I see that tree, all I can see is hundreds of thousands of duckfoot leafis. (Which is what that type of tree will forever be called amongst us now.)

I know this is a very short post, but I will have to write again later because a pair of little feet who are supposed to be in bed are running around upstairs and I must see what is going on with the child attached to them....
