For the past year, ever since Trey's cavity/filling episode at the dentist, he has been very diligent in his oral hygiene. Trey is constantly on the lookout for the ever elusive sugar bugs. I find him perched up on my vanity counter from time to time looking in his mouth. After every tooth brushing I must verify that there are no more sugar bugs in his mouth. Sometimes before eating something, Trey will inquire about the sugar bug content. Together we have discovered which foods contain no sugar bugs, just a few, a hundred and three or millions of sugar bugs. Sugar bugs are mentioned daily at my house. So, I wasn't completely surprised when Trey asked me what color sugar bugs are.
We were driving to preschool and he had just inhaled a granola bar. I thought for a minute and told him that I thought most sugar bugs were probably black or gray.
"Hmph" he said. "I guess that's not what this is then!"
I looked in the rear view mirror to see him closely examining something he'd just pulled out of his teeth. I had to laugh and shake my head. My silly son.....
The Thing I Have Been Wondering

It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...
