Awe (Shucks)

So we've redecorated the kids' room, much to everyone's delight. I'm talking over the changes with Claire:

"So what d'you think of your room now? Pretty cool, huh?"

"Yeah! It's awesome!"

"It's like the Town Hall of Awesomeville!"

"Yeah!"

"It's the summit of Mount McAwesome!"

"Uh-huh—"

"It's like Captain Awesome's Citadel Of Awesomeness!"

"Dad. It's awesome. I know."

My daughter.
Eight years old tomorrow. God help us all.
