A Little Snapshot
Rachel goes to school here in Bethel Park. She has a great teacher and she's making some friends. The Bethel Park mascot is the Hawk - they're the Bethel Park Blackhawks and their football team went to the state finals this year (and lost in the fourth heartbreaking quarter).
So, anyway, I don't know why the girls were talking in the back seat of the Pilot about hawks but Elie says, "Dad, what do hawks eat?" (Heh, I alwas get these kind of questions - Lori always gets the theological questions - I guess the girls have learned that if they don't want an answer about God that takes 20 minutes and mentions the Desert Fathers then they ought to ask their mom).
So, Elie asks, "Daddy, what do hawks eat?"
I said, "Hmmm - smaller birds, mice, rabbits, fish...I suppose..."
And Rachel says, "Other football teams..."
I thought that was awesome. Rachel's getting puns now and she has a quick sense of humor and it's so cool to be able to talk with her on a little bit more adult level than even a year ago (now, she's only in second grade, so there are limits - but she's a surprisingly good conversationalist).
Just a little verbal snapshot of life in the Beatty house.
