The glass is half empty or the glass is half full. I guess it depends on what's in the glass.

This morning, as I opened the door to the girls' room, Maddie whispered, "Daddy. This is how a pirate sleeps."

"How's that?" I asked as I turned on the light.

"With one eye closed," she said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, I bet I know why that is," I offered. "They keep one eye open so they can always be on guard - you know, so nobody gets 'em."

"No," Maddie answered. "They keep one eye closed so they're able to sleep."



Have a happy Friday!

And Happy Halloween!
