Next stop, Sistene Chapel

There is a quote I remember hearing, by Michelangelo, if I remember right. It goes something like, "I do not create the sculptures from the rock. The sculptures are already there, I just take away the extra rock."

I think Alex was channeling the old artist's soul today. He was eating a pretzel. We were in the car, and I hear, "Look mommy, an R!"

I said, "Oh, you see an R? Is it on a sign?"

"No, there's an R in my pretzel." So, I tell him to pass it up and I take a look, and he's right, it does look like an R.

"Oh, wow, you made an R with your pretzel."

"No," Alex said. "I just bite my pretzel and then I see the R!"
