Tani accidentally left his alarm clock on "radio" last night after adjusting for the start of Daylight Saving Time. So when I heard the noise this morning I went into his room to turn it off --- and I was just in time to hear the announcer say "Last week, Tyler Hinman...." Good timing. Now I'm listing to the "On the Media" ACPT report.

A few weeks back, Alissa asked "How do you spell 'chicken'?" and, a few moments later, "How do you spell 'allowed'?" and, finally, "May I please have some tape please?"* Next thing we knew, there was a sign on our back door:

So that night, I asked her about it. "Why did you make that sign?"

"Because I didn't want any chickens to come into our house while were asleep and peck at us. That would hurt."

And it seems to have worked. We haven't had any chickens break into our house!

* - Note the four-year-old's common construct, the "duple please"
