one weekend afternoon when finn and i were on our way home from target, a motorcycle passed our car.  finn is really into motorcycles right now.  the motorcycle was long gone but finn really wanted to see it again and asked where the man on the motorcycle went.  i said; "the man on the motorcycle went home to his house.  he was probably going to eat some dinner".  finn sat quietly.  then he said "when the man on the motorcycle went home and went into his house, did he take his shoes off"?  i thought to myself that this is simply awesome!  you see - in our house we remove shoes the minute we walk inside the door.  i can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear that finn is thinking about how others must remove their shoes too!  that's my boy!  so... i replied; "i am sure he did sweetie...i am sure he did".
