“Dad, why does it hurt so bad?”
“I don’t know, son; it just does.”
“What are the chances we win next year?”
“…There is always hope?”
“Why can’t we be fans of a better team like the White Sox or Brewers?”
“Don’t ever say those words again.”
– A conversation somewhere in Chicago…or North Carolina this morning. Probably.
Lunch Box Quotes are notes I typically include in the kids’ lunches every day. Since Number 1 is off in college and Number 2 is skipping lunch now (for some reason), they both get a text. Typically, both Numbers 3 and 4 get handwritten notes on napkins, but today a text because writing is quite difficult.

Cardinals mate for life.
They share food, sing duets together, and call to each other when one gets separated from the other.
A bonded pair will often return to the same yard for years.
That bright red cardinal you’re seeing this spring is probably the same one who visited… pic.twitter.com/1y3nZzqGy6
