. . . but screw your courage to the sticking place . . .

Our little E is positively Shakespearean in her expressions sometimes. Today on the way to preschool we were waiting to make a turn into a parking lot during class break. The college students just walk along without ever noticing any cars that might be about to run them down (like ours), and E finds this very disturbing. "They don't pay attention at all!" she huffs. "That is very dangerous! They could get run over!" Today she found new words to express her exasperation: "they just fix their minds on what they're doing and don't think about cars that might run over them." Fix their minds. She kills me.
