Oil and Water

Andy orders coffee over ice.

I like digging in the dirt and soil.

Andy prefers to keep his hands clean.

I have one good buddy and play with her every day.

Andy seems to join a new sport every week. 

It can be fun to point to all the ways Andy and I are different.

But when Mom says to clean up, Andy and I look at each other. We both want to keep playing! We are on the same team on that!
