that the baby’s arrival would be
some time away. Her husband came
home, and the family had dinner
and discussed the good news.

little girl, suddenly very distressed,
said to her mother, “I know you said
it would be a long time until we got
our baby, but this is just ridiculous.”

I like to lightheartedly tell my
colleagues, “Don’t even talk to me
until I’ve had my cofee!” And then I
never get cofee. @HEYJULIAJOHNS

@CLICHEDOUTHere’s what the hard workers
of Twitter have to say about
life in the oce.WHO’S COUNTING?
I taught my three year old, Nick,
to count to ten when he started
getting angry, which was becoming
a more frequent problem. It wasn’t
long before I had an occasion to
remind him, “Count to ten, Nick.
Count to ten!”
So he started: “One, two, three,” and
so on, until he ended with “... 11, 12.”
It was quiet for a few seconds while
I looked at him and he looked at me.
hen, with a knowing expression
and a nod of his head, he very
seriously said, “Some people need to
count to 12.”
