Because "Thank You" is so overused...

At Trader Joe's today, Eddie skipped through the checkstand while Chas admired the stickers they have up front. The checker tore three off and gave them to Chas. "What do you say?" I asked him. Without skipping a beat he looked at her and said "Eddie needs some, too." Or something to that effect. And he was right, of course. I still made him say Thank You, but I secretly admired the fact that he was looking out for his bro.

On a more unpleasant note, we visited baby Marcus today and, more importantly in the boys' estimation, Danger the chocolate lab. Danger licked Chas on the forehead and the boy broke out in little hives. Damn those allergies!!!!! Some Benadryl helped and we left shortly afterward. But I'm sad that these boys who love dogs may never have one of their own.
