I had my hands full once when my mom -- in an effort to provide a "teachable moment" -- said, "Do you know that pinecones are alive?" (meaning they were seeds, of course) I shrieked and dropped them.

We'll probably try to get out in that gray area between lunch and dinner when the crowds thin down a bit.
