Gabe: (with dawning comprehension and excitement) Mom! Mom! Guess what?
Mom: What!?
Gabe: You know how you were gone, out of town?
Mom: Yes?
Gabe: Well Dad only had one meltdown the whole time and that's like a record for him!!
(I'd like to publicly congratulate Pat on only having one tantrum for the whole 2.5 days of my absence. Good job Babe!!)
