ita is so mean. He has dreams you know!

It is no good for the community at large, and cannot be permitted. Plus pigeons are gross.

Finally got the project plan updated and sent out. Now if the two key parties who haven't responded to the invite for a meeting in less than two hours would just GET IN TOUCH WITH ME, it'd be great.

Of course he's not allowed to drive the bus.

Well, it seems obvious to you, but you have to teach kids these things.

why is he not allowed to drive the bus? can't we see if he is capable? what if it brings him joy?

As a mom with a daughter who would love to drive the car, I can attest that the genius of the book is that it gets kids to gleefully tell the pigeon "NO!"

Oh, and the woman who wrote "Pat the Bunny" went to my college, so every time there's a new edition, there's a mention on the "Alumni Publications" page. Ditto for her daught, who wrote "Pat the Cat".

Not as cool as my classmate who announced her new position as "human canonball & stuntwoman" with the Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey's Circus in our alumni mag.

Well, it seems obvious to you, but you have to teach kids these things.

my neighbor has the same problem with her 18 month old daughter. . I wonder if she has the book?

Em "drives" Joe's car when they get home from school in the afternoons. She climbs into the driver's seat after the car is parked in the agrage, turned off, and key removed, and "turns" the steering wheel. Sometimes she honks the horn.

it is possible I was being a tad .... ummm, how you say, snotty/ironic/silly.

What is really heart melting is listening to my daughter "read" the books to her brother, especially the books that we sing like I've Been Working on the Railroad, One Was Johnny, and Pierre.

I trust that's NOT the novel by Herman Melville.

You, msbelle? Snotty?!? Silly? Ironic! Oh no, what is the world coming to?
