Train of Thought

This story is Matt's.  I'm stealing it.  I told him I was, so it's ok.  A few days ago he and Tula were walking home from taking Gwen to school.  They noticed a recently damaged tree leaking sap down the bark.  Matt, ever the teacher, stopped to explain sap.  He then continued on this train of thought offering up... "And if that sap from that tree got buried in the ground and stayed there for a very very very long time, it would turn into a rock.  A very pretty orange rock called amber."  Which elicited several "oohs" and "aahhs" along the way from Super T.  Then, Tula had an epiphany, which Matt expected and waited patiently for... Wheels slowly turning..."Oh! And DAD... We have a COUSIN... named... (wait for it...) named JARRET!!"  And Matt, between bouts of laughter... "Yes Tula, like our cousins Jarret and..."  Tula, interrupting quietly with a proud smirk:  "And Amber."
