We all, or I'd like to believe that most of us, think our kids are pretty awesome! They're smart, talented, eager to soak up the world around them ...

But every once in a while I'm reminded that, well, they're kids.

After a quick visit with my parents last night, my daughter and our dog ventured out to the car. I stayed in the house just a few minutes longer. From the kitchen window, I watched my daughter get into the car and start to make faces in the sideview mirror. She was grinning, tilting her head, exaggerating her appearance and then laughing out loud.

I kept watching, noticing that she was contorting her face, with help from her fingers, in a way that I couldn't quite figure out from my vantage point. 

When I got into the car, I asked her what she'd been doing. Her response left me speechless, but laughing.

"I was trying to fold my tongue!''
