We were heading for a pizza picnic at the park where there was a playground designed for 2-5 year-olds, and before we left I grabbed my ready-for-anything jacket. After all, it was 5:00 and it gets cold fast at sundown, right?
Oh wait. Sundown takes several hours in September in Alaska. There is not that precipitous drop from 63F there would be at home.
Sam grinned and said to two-year-old Mathias in the back seat, Grammy’s a Californian.
Clearly this was meant to be an in-joke between them, even if he had no idea what it was about.
Grammy is uh Caff Phone uh!
Sam laughed and said it again.
So he did too. They were having a great time.
We got to the park, I looked at the kids playing in t-shirts and my sweater and left the down jacket in the car.
