The U.S. Postal System through the Eyes of a 5-Year-Old

So E's Uncle J was home from college over the weekend. After J had returned to campus, E's grandma realized that J had forgotten his retainer.

"We've got to go to the post office to send it to him," she told E.

"I'm not going in the post office, Meema!" he replied. "The mailman is gonna be SO mad at us for making him walk all the way to J's college. I'm not going in there. He will be angry."

Hahaha! I can't help but burst out laughing whenever I think about the story. I only wish I'd been there in person to hear the conversation unfold.

And, in addition to great amusement, this story also reminds me yet again of how much I love being a mom. E reminds me every day of a more simple and logical time in life when the only controversy was deciding which flavor of juice to drink or what stuffed animal to snuggle with at bedtime. So thank you, E! Mommy loves you sooo much.
