Almost Is a Relative Term

Baby Blues

I've come to realize now that we have children, that ALMOST is a relative term. For example, when I call up the steps to ask if they're ready for bed and they shout, "ALMOST!" I know that they haven't even stripped. Or if I ask Edward if he's finished his breakfast (after nearly an hour) and he says, "Almost." I know that he's eaten approximately 1/100 of his bowl of cereal.

Think about it. It encompasses so much. Almost means you've at least started, right?

In that case, I'm almost grown up...
