I was flipping through some photos and that's what went through my head so I thought I'd share his adorableness with you tonight. Geez, he's cute. Sometimes I think his brain has a few less cells than necessary but he more than makes up for it when he looks at me like that.
I stopped at a traffic light today and thought my car was making strange tink-tink-tink type noises, I start looking all around examining the car. What was that? Do I have my triple-A card? Then I realized it was raining. Ah, the life of a Californian.
