The Boy and I were playing with his train set when his mum took me away from the play. Kenny didn't like that. He pushed Mari away from where she'd been kneading my shoulders, and told her, "Stop doing that. Go do laundry!"

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
