I always hear the best place to start a story is at the beginning, but I disagree. . . In our family's case, I'll need to start with today. I will add more of our history as time permits. Right now, Sailor has his arms full, carrying two monster trucks and one of his favorite hot wheels. As he headsout the cabin to the back deck I hear one of his toys fall to the deck. We get a flashlight and find he dropped his blue hot wheels right by a scupper and it rolled on out and down into the river. It's gone. "That's alright momma" he assures me "I have a lot more in my v-berth". Yes, he uses correct nautical terminology at 3 years old. But his sense of security with his hot wheels is short lived and he asks for his favorite blue hot wheels car a few minutes later. A few minutes after that Sailor and I are of to Fred Meyers to hunt out a new Hot Wheels.
