OUR VOICES Share day one-upping
I'd like to say thank you to the mom of the girl in Bug's class who last week sent candy with her daughter to share day. No, really, thank you (much sarcasm implied). ... While I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and guess that you did it unwittingly, you've still upped the stakes

"So did you do anything fun today in school?" I asked Bug, something I do every night whether they're at their mom's house or mine. "Yep," he said. "OK, what was that?" I asked. "Well, we played recess outside ...," he said. "And?" I asked, prodd
