Laurel and I exercise every morning after kiddo gets on the bus.
Today the bus went flying down our street pretty early, and kiddo
missed it. No big deal. As early as it was, we decided to
exercise before making the drive. Kiddo joined us. We saw a police
vehicle drive by us on a neighborhood street — a rare sight. Later
on our walk, we saw — and heard — something else: a woman, standing
in the middle of the street, screaming at someone about an affair
her husband was having. Apparently the woman proceeded south in
parallel to us, because we saw her again after we'd turned east.
At this point, we could hear a man responding to her yelling. He
didn't sound agitated, and she was still ranting.
All of this drama definitely affected kiddo. It was the subject
of conversation on the ride to school, and, well, clearly I'm
still thinking about it. We'll need to spend some extra time
with her tonight.
