Ms. Crazy Preschooler has taken to climbing onto the back of the futon, squishing her knees against the glass and watching the neighbors across the street. The other day she kissed the window and smeared carmex all over the glass. Things have been hectic. I hadn't a chance to clean it off. Today I was feeding Mr. Slobber and I looked over. There she was, in the window, eyes watching the neighbors playing basketball in front of their garage. I looked away. I looked back. It was true. She was LICKING the window.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm cleaning the window with my tongue."

Tomorrow I will be hauling out the windex.
