Yesterday we had lunch at BJ's Pizza. It's one of Sam and Matt's favorite places; they love the minestrone and the root beer floats, and Ben loves the beer, so we go there a fair amount. On this particular visit, Sam was especially energetic. Which is to say he drove us absolutely nuts. He was happy enough, but was completely bouncing off the walls, so that the whole meal was a litany of Sam this and Sam that and Sam, will you please pull your head out from under the table and eat already?

By the time we loaded the kids back into the van to go home, I was exhausted. As we started out of the parking lot, Sam suddenly piped up, "I don't want to go there anymore. I don't want to go back to BJ's Pizza ever again."

I turned around to look at him, surprised -- he loved BJ's. "Why, honey?" I asked.

"That place makes me crazy," he said.
