Number

I love Jamie. His little mind works like no other mind I know. He is hilarious and smart and the things he says are sometimes just too much! The other day we were in the car on the way back from Moscow (where Maria has ballet).

Jamie: "Mama....I wish I was a number."

Mama: "Why?"

Jamie: "Because then people would count me."

There is something so funny about this. There is also something very smart about this. And finally, there is something (I can't quite put my finger on it) very heartbreaking about this. Ah, Jamie.
