Common sense and Oma's findings

"Mommy, is that place Denny's?" Jory inquired as we were stopped alongside the Culver City Denny's.

"Yes, it is. How did you know that?" I asked, surprised he knew what Denny's was.

"Maybe I read it," he said in a sing-songy voice.

"Did you?"

"No."

"How did you know it was Denny's?"

"The TV told me."

I'm not sure what answer I was expecting, something deep or philosophical, but what I got was plain and simple, common sense.

We picked Oma up after leaving LaLa's house and she said, "I saw some cute Easter dresses at TJ Maxx."

Oma is thinking about Easter. I can't believe it. And if they are at TJ Maxx's, they are cheap.

Out of the all the dresses they had, of course, she loved the turquoise dresses. How am I suppose to find Jory a turquoise dress shirt? Doesn't she remember you're not dressing for two, but three?

It was nice while it lasted. Back to the drawing board.
