Those magical zippers...

I love being a parent. My kids always give me a fresh perspective on everyday items. Take the common zipper. To most of us zippers are probably something you don't think much about or maybe take for granted. I saw zippers in a new light when yesterday after zipping up her jacket Ashlie says to me with wonder in her voice "mom, why do zippers seem to work like magic?". Alia gladly showed Ashlie how zippers work so the "magic" became less of a mystery, but you could tell zippers in her eyes were cool little things.
