Cheeseburger In the Car

On the way to Milwaukee, my daughter Maile and I ate burgers and fries from our favorite fast food place, Culvers, and talked about a multitude of things: from herpes, to kids smoking pot at school to making choices about who you want to marry. It's times like that I treasure with my kids. I honestly think it's easier for them to pour out their hearts and ask questions about stuff they ordinarily wouldn't ask you about face to face. That's when I love to steal a look at their faces. The burger was delicious--but the short hour together was even more delicious.
