"Candy...Mmmmmmmm..."

Here's a hilarious Kyle picture and story from a few weeks ago:


One Saturday afternoon, I had some pants that I bought that needed to be shortened. I took them to the tailor down the street. While I was trying the pants on so they could pin them, Kyle somehow managed to con the owner into giving him a piece of candy. I was none too pleased to come out of the dressing room to see Kyle with a bump in his cheek, like a squirrel holding a nut in his jaw. (If you look closely in the picture above, you can see the bump in his cheek.) We thanked the tailor and left to go to the car wash. As I was loading Kyle in the car, I asked him, "So, you managed to get yourself a piece of candy, didn't you? Is it good?" And he replied, "Mmmmmmmmmmm." So we started driving off down the street, and about a minute later, I heard this little voice in the back seat say, "Candy...Mmmmmmmmmmmm." I couldn't help but turn around and laugh while snapping the picture. He repeated this about every 30 seconds for the next few minutes:

"Candy...Mmmmmmmmmm."

"Candy...Mmmmmmmmmm."

You get the idea. So silly!

In other news, marathon training started today! Today's run was just three miles on the treadmill at the gym. Tomorrow's is five miles, and Saturday is the week's long run...eight miles! I'll have to plan out a good course around the neighborhood. Eight miles seems such a long way; it's much farther than I've run before. I hope I'm up to it. I stocked up on frozen pasta at Costco today. Carbo load! Carbo load!

Also, I think I'll be attending the Nevada Law Foundation's Silver Ball. This is an exciting black tie event at the Four Seasons on April 4. There are a bunch of people from my law firm going. I'm so excited!

Have a good week, everyone!
