Kansas in Paugust

This morning, Sage was telling me about her friend Lukas. It's not the Lukas we knew in Seattle -- this one's a girl, and Sage met her in California, but she has since moved to Africa. Lukas is three years old, just like Sage, but on her next birthday she's going to be ten.

In other news, Sage also said something true this morning: "August rhymes with Paugust."
