Our routine in terms of getting Maile to and from school is that I drop her off in the morning and Christine picks her up in the afternoon. There are pros and cons to each setup, but definitely a “pro” of the afternoon pickup is that you get the fresh details of what Maile did that day in school. By the time I get home for dinner, it’s like pulling teeth getting anything out of her.
Christine will occasionally text me quotes from their afternoon conversations – last week there were a couple doozies one right after another…

The Darth Vader one is great. She’s only watched the first 45 minutes of Episode IV and she is obsessed with Darth Vader – he comes up time and again in terms of something she is scared of. I don’t have the heart to tell her yet that Darth Vader could choke her even if he wasn’t “holding her hand” 😉
