today had the cutest 7 year old, from very very very very very difficult circumstances, but has a committed mother to raise her boys with the utmost propriety, like a ben carson story but with more difficult life circumstance. i asked him a series of questions and he replied with a series of uh-huh's. his mama gently corrected him by saying, 'honey, please use real words'. then he switched to a series of yes's. two minutes later i caught myself saying 'mm-hmm' and felt sheepish. heh.
eh.
wah.
