most heartbreaking comment

I had thought that the most heartbreaking comment I had heard was, "Remember when my dad was my REAL dad and we did....." The girl has been starting her memories with this phrase for some time. Tonight I found that the boy has his version. "My dad quit being a good dad in 2007" is what he said. Ouch, but true. And what can I say to them except that I'm sorry things happened this way, that people make bad decisions that mess things up so much.

Also of note this last week, the boy had a wire pop out. I was doing my homework when he came up to me and said, the girl and I were wrestling around, and her foot caught my mouth, and my wire popped out. It was on his cheek, outside his mouth! I put it back in and took him to the ortho the next day. I'm still trying to figure out how that happened, with no crying or anything, just laughter and giggles... who knew the girl has such monkey toes?
