What is it about that school that has us devising these situations...maybe it is the creative process. Anyway, my brother is a lawyer now - so, I guess...I better remind him of the plan in case he needs to hide from a client.

I believe my sophomore year at college my conversation with mom went something along the lines of: mom: "When will you be home?" me: "I don't know, why don't you just stop bugging me!" mom: "Are you wearing your warm jacket? You know it's cold and you can get sick if you don't dress appropriately!" me: "Leave me alone! I'll be fine. Besides, you don't even get sick from being cold!" mom: "You know, when I was your age..." me: "I gotta go mom." Darn...I was so ungrateful. Now that I think about it, I am still a little ungrateful. I should call my mom and find out what her super secret memory is in case her identity gets stolen. WOW…that’s deep…what is Steph taking at school?!

My expression with Ean was that I loved him more than bugs (it came up at the time he learned that there were zillions of bugs in the world). But I can't imagine that I wouldn't be able to figure out if he was who he said he was. He's the person who can either make me weep in my tea or giggle with joy at the drop of a dime, sometimes in the same conversation. Nobody else has that kind of power over me.

Is this in case aliens take over our bodies and we become pod people? In that case, I will ask Levi if he wants to go clothes shopping. If he goes willingly, I will know he is a pod person.

Now we're going to have to come up with all new ways! LOVE that your children's true names are all Bob. That makes it easy when you're trying to call them, doesn't it? Wish I'd thought of that. Wonder if it's too late? Yeah, Heather, I realized I’ve given away the secret, too. Now we’re going to have to come up with all new ways!

Or for a backup, I will ask them what animal I look for in their nose and ears (monkeys). Uh oh, I've given away the secrets. Back to the drawing board.
