I’m glad you can’t see my kids in this picture, because then you won’t know that I am a terrible mother and didn’t put them in rain jackets or rain boots.

I also have to tell you about a humorous exchange the kids had that day.

Linus: When we grow up, I’m going to be a race car driver, and Oliver and Miles are going to be superheroes.

Millie: That’s not how the world works.

And thus, dreams are crushed.
