Once upon a time, Grannie Pattie took Torren to visit cousin Agnes Mayes. When Torren noticed the plants bordering the driveway, he saw they were thick with long, slender blades. Pointing at these funny leaves he exclaimed, “Look, Grannie! Noodle garden. Noodles!”

Heaven...
Yesterday I picked up Torren from school to take him to his swim lesson. We were talking about how he is growing up, and I asked him if he couldn’t just stay a little boy? He said no, that he is a big boy, and that when he gets to be the age of Klaus he can do anything he wants. I replied that he can do a lot more things but not everything he wants. Then he said when he grows up he can do anything he wants. I told him even grownups don’t get to do everything they want. He thought about that for a moment and then said, “When I’m in Heaven then I can do anything I want!” I agreed that yes, he probably can then.
