I sent Kenny to daycare in his PJ's today. D'oh.

Mari had set out a set of clothing and a set of pajamas for the evening. She was planning everything in advance because she had a late work function. It wasn't until she got home just now that I asked her, "Why did you leave two sets of clothes for Kenny today?" She retrieved the clothes I brought back from the day care and told me what I'd done.

No mention of it in the day care's journal, the teachers thought not to say anything. Eeeeh.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
