Clearly I'm ill prepared. He already tells me how to get places in the car. You all know how challenged I am in this area. Luckily John's genes in this category as so strong, even Lucy asked the other day when we hit the freeway headed to Lakewood, "Why are we going toward Tookies?"

The longest word I think she's ever gotten was 5 letters. Wow. I'm not joking when I say a BUNCH of my 6th graders couldn't spell those words properly. Is it because I don't cover that curriculum? Nope!
