I was lucky when I had the reconstruction surgery, because it was insanely clear which cheekbone was shattered, and he was using the other cheekbone as a sort of reverse template. They still drew on me with purple marker.
Right -- with my back surgery, it was pretty clear which side the discs had herniated on, but before I went under, I heard the surgeon asking the rest of the surgical team, "Okay, everyone -- one more time: which side is it?" And I was relieved when they all said "Left!"
Say, did anybody hear about the $10 Skybus flights from Oakland? Bayistas could fly to Columbus and back for $20. I think that's quite a deal even if they do charge $5 for a checked bag.
Iiiiiinteresting. But why would I want to go to Columbus?
To visit me and Cash, silly!
Oh frak, Ginger. I hope you find them soon.
Just to clarify, I'm not actually an insane mother who thinks her 7-month-old infant is two diphthongs away from a career as a public speaker -- she's totally just babbling, and some of it accidentally comes out resembling words. Which of course we repeat back to her and praise and affirm and all that, but it's purely accidental. I'm not delusional about her or anything.
Mostly.
I've seen babies talk at Matilda's age. Ben did. I was a baby who started talking early. Mum is fond of saying I started talking at 6 months and haven't stopped yet.
Man, I wish I could get to Columbus for $10. That's where they keep all the cute kids related to me!

Not necessarily! I started talking at 8 months. It's young, sure, but not impossible.
Of course, I didn't walk until I was 15 months old, so my poor mother had to carry me around everywhere while I yammered incessantly in her ear.
Oooh.
Well, it looks like all the ten-dollar flights are gone for the next six months, at least.
My mother swears I said, "Oddly enough," at 7 months old. I think the story is more about her than about me, though.
$10? That's very interesting...
