jr. bloggers weigh in Thursday

Sis C, The Nephew and Little E stayed in Hau'ula after my departure. I deputized The Nephew and Little E as junior bloggers.

The Nephew relayed 3 items of interest Thursday. I believe that this report was a synthesis of the collective observations he and his sister made during their shifts.

Thursday - 1. Mom was observed eating a dinner of ham, 2 eggs sunnyside up and fried rice. 2. A friend of Sis C's and family stopped by to visit and afterward mom told them not to answer the door to anybody else. 3. A "touching exchange" (The Nephew's words) was witnessed when dad came home - he greeted mom with a hug and kiss and they held hands and looked out at the ocean.

I asked my follow up question of course, what was so interesting about items 1 and 3? It turns out The Nephew had never before witnessed mom's eclectic eating habits and was astounded to see her eat breakfast at dinner time. [Nephew - please refer to Sunday Dec. 7 post] When I mentioned that mom and dad are often affectionate, D said, "I guess I don't know Popo and Papa that well."

Ah,young grasshopper, to acknowledge what you don't know is the first step on the long journey to wisdom.
