Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

The World According to Ben

We were driving back from our tiny town post office late afternoon yesterday after the kids were home from school. I was noticing and commenting on the large amount of deer around.

As we came up to the last turn before our road, there were two deer right there on the hillside. They were not spooked at our vehicle and just stared at us. David commented that one was even laying down, relaxing.

Ben: "Yeah, it's a baby! That's probably their nest."


Oh the laughter that erupted in the truck! Now I am having visions of the omelet I could make with a deer egg.

In his defense, we have probably said something about deer "nesting" under our apple tree at some point.
