   My kids had a friend who lived with his much younger cousins. He liked to come over and spend time with kids his own age. One day they had used lego and their wooden train set to build a city all over their room. Then Emily came spinning into the room, knocking everything over. In her 20’s now, she’s still known as “Hurricane Emily.”

   Was pretty little when my younger sister said, “It’s cold.” So we went to Mom who said, “Oh, I can do this!” and fiddled a little thing on the wall. A little later it was warmer. A few days later, I felt cold, so I went to mom. “If you’re cold, put some more clothes on.” I realized I was not wearing much, so I went to my room and got a shirt and long pants. Wow, I could adjust for temperature with clothes! Amazing.
