Christmas Beauty

About 3 years ago a friend was visitting one summer evening.  He was favoring me with admiring glances and asked Dragon, "Isn't your mother beautiful?" 

Dragon, without hesitation, responded, "Only on Christmas."

Burnt Toast

Dragon and I were driving past the restaurant area of Ojai when we smelled the distinctive scent of burnt toast.  "Smells like someone burnt their toast," I said surprised that even restaurants could make that mistake. 

"I think I've smelt that before," Dragon said.

"Well, I've burnt plenty of toast," I replied.

"But it's never smelt as delicious as this!" he declared.

I guess now I know I can burn the toast, not only without fear, but with enthusiasm.
