Q&A

Sometimes people put questions in the comments section and I never know how I’m supposed to answer them. If I put my response as a comment do people come back and read them? Do I email directly? Sometimes I do and other times I forget, but I wanted to answer this question because there’s a funny response involved.

Mom’s question about Caleb’s rugby award: It was not a surprise because he came home after his last practice and announced, “I’m getting the trophy for ‘best player.'” I asked, “How do you know that?” He replied, “Cause we voted today and afterward I asked everyone who they voted for and they all picked me.” This child certainly doesn’t lack in the confidence department.

Today Josh and I are going out driving. In a moment of insanity while we were camping I told him I wanted to learn how to drive in the sand. Bahrain is flat and doesn’t have hills and dunes so I need to seize the opportunity while I have it. There’s a place out by the hospital (about 10 minutes away) where people go dune bashing. A friend told me it’s much less scary being a driver in the sand than a passenger. We’ll see.
