Dinner time at the Barnes house is usually just Katie and me. Matt works evenings at the hospital, so he has The Bug in the morning and I get her in the afternoon and evening. I've been trying to get into work at 7-7:30 each day so I can get out by between 3 and 4. Our odd schedules mean that Matt and I don't see much of one another during the week - but we try to maximize our Katie time as much as possible. 
So, with it just being me and Katie at night - dinnertime conversations are interesting. I always try to ask Katie about her day at school. Usually I get an answer, but its very generic unless something special has happened. Normally she tells me she played with her teachers and her friends. This week is community safety week at school. As part of the community safety program, the school brings in members of the local police force and the local fire department. Katie was SOOO excited this week to see the fire fighters and get onto the fire truck. I asked her what color the fire truck was - and she told me it was yellow. I was a bit suspicious on that (I thought they were red). Turns out she was right - all Henrico County fire trucks are yellow.
