White Bread and Puberty

Other things I never expected to hear my children say:

• Julia, crying: "But mommmmmm, I don't like white bread!"

(Not so very long ago, it was a great struggle to get white bread out of the house and off our food pyramid. I thought it would seem like a treat to make her egg salad sandwich on seeded Italian when our neighbor gave us a loaf this week, but not so much!)

• Andrew asking: "How old were you when you went through puberty? I am only asking because it is my homework assignment, not because I really want to know."
