Yesterday morning, as we were eating breakfast, I was teasing the kids that I'd just figured out how to make our school day mornings easier. "I know," I said with a smile, "Katie and Abby can walk themselves to the bus stop, and Zach can pick up the city bus to preschool." "But Mama," said Zach with a look of concern, "I'm too big!" Then, getting up from his seat, standing arms extended, palms out, he pleaded, "Look at me! I only free!"
