The M&M Story

Two-year-olds don't necessarily know their letters, so eyecharts for little guys may consist of readily identified pictures like teddy bears, boats, and houses instead of E's, F's, and O's. M did fine on his routine vision screening last week, and as the pictures got smaller, he whispered. At the top, he said "House!" and by the bottom of the chart, his "house" was barely audible.

Dear M & B, Sorry about last night. For some reason, those were the only song lyrics I could remember. The Apostle Paul says "Fathers, do not exasperate your children," and even the most liberal of theologians would include singing "You are the Sun" by Lionel Richie over and over as exasperating one's children. Thanks for calling me on it, M, Daddy ------- Daddy: You are the sun; you are the rain; you make my life this foolish game/ You need to know; I love you so; and I'd do it all again and again/ Uh-whoa-oh, uh-whoa-oh, uh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...." M: Noooo. Sing another song, Daddy. Daddy: Like what? M: Ummm, let's see....ABCs! Daddy: You are the sun; you are the ... M: Noooo!!!
