The return of Peya and Nevaeh

...Bet you thought we were all done with those two, didn't you?? Peya and Nevaeh, Rachel's other family, the people who are raising all the babies, who live in a house/apartment near ours. Not a chance. At the rate Rachel is including them in our lives, we'll have to drag them along on family vacations, on the hunt for a suitable college, to the wedding rehearsal dinner....

Tonight Rachel told me that the kids at St. James went to the river to feed the geese. "Afterward they all took naps," she said (the geese, not the kids). She said they fed the geese a kind of cracker called Saltines.

"You know what my favorite snack was when I was a kid?" I told her.

"What?" she asked.

"Saltines with peanut butter and chocolate chips on top," I said. (It's true, I used to chomp them down when I went to David Hochron's house in high school. We washed it down with lemon/lime soda from PathMark).

"Peya's favorite snack is applesauce with FLOWERS in it," Rachel said. "And chocolate chips."

"Really?" I said. "That sounds kind of yucky."

"Peya asks me to get chocolate chips," she said. "Then I take the babies to the diaper changing place. And then I'm so tired that I take a nap."

Um, whatever.
