I’d like to be writing about how my 9 year old is on the brink of becoming a “preteen” or how our family saw some great fireworks last night (Toot covered her brother’s eyes and said, “Don’t look, boy!”) but instead I’m sitting here obsessing over my iPhone. When will the iTunes store be available […]
Anyone else remember Chinese Jump Rope? I had such a wonderful time playing when I was in grade school. I was thinking about it recently and bought Mitten this book/ropes combo from Klutz. She’s enjoying it but the book doesn’t have much in the way of rhymes and I can’t remember many.

I’m not usually one for superstitious mumbo-jumbo like astrology, tarot cards or church but after reading this Wiki entry on Chinese Astrology, I’m feeling like they just might have something.

Having Mitten as a first child warped me. She never repeated my “lazy langauage”(at least where I could hear her) but so far, I have inadvertently taught Toot to say “damn bit”, “sut up” and “crap”.
I swear like a sailor, I admit, but I was baffled when she started quietly telling me to “sut up, […]
The phrase ‘fragile things’ puts me in mind of an overly earnest man-boy who, with a pose of irreverent mirth and childlike wonderment, offers up a box containing something like half a robin’s egg, a plaintive and poorly written love note on a piece of graying notebook paper and a handful of sequins he’ll claim […]

“Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. . . The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.” — Judge Leon Bazile, in the original opinion.
This is what an attempt at legislating love gets […]
