"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Honesty

Says M in an honest moment during before bed hysterics:

"I don't care about you. I don't care about anyone. I only care about myself."

Says E in an honest moment after I'd cut my hair:

"It looks the same as before. I don't like it."

Says E when deliberating treat sizes:

"Dad, why is your cake better?"
"Because I am bigger than you."
"But Daddy, how did you get bigger?"

... and yes, she meant that as a rhetorical question.
