From Chanda's blog. Carrie, do it too! And David, I wanna see your list. Yes, you aren't a mommy, nor will you ever be one (I hope!), so modify to yourself and your family/friends. I trust your writer's initiative on this one1.

When Claire was about 18 months, I came home Sunday morning after a run to my sister's to get sugar or something, and she was out in the middle of the road. It was many days before I recovered. Many.

When I let them have computer time this morning.
