The Easter Egg Hunt: a toddler's Myers Briggs

We prepared very carefully for the arrival of the Easter bunny...

Eggs were hidden outside in the backyard on Easter
(after near- successful removal of all dog poop)

Sam proceeded to run to this blue egg, pick it up, and promptly sit down, crack open the egg and eat each and every jelly bean off of the ground.

Sam's Personality Profile: Immediate gratification, sugar-crazed, crafty (he did get the egg open, afterall)

Maura, on the other hand, collected each and every egg she could find. Would not, did not, and TO THIS DAY has not eaten any of the candy in the 12-14 eggs she found that day. NOT ONE JELLYBEAN, NOT ONE.

Maura's Personality Profile: Delayed gratification, hoarder, and preferring ice cream and cookies over candy anyday

A Walk in the Park

Maura and I took an after dinner walk around Como Lake last week.

As a couple approached us from the opposite direction, I couldn't help but notice that the 20-something male walking with his apparent girlfriend looked really pissed off for no apparent reason.

As we passed Maura asked, "Why did that man have an angry face on?"

So damn aware of everything, it kills me.
