How can you be from Hawaii and not drink coffee? That's just wrong.

I think Becker is a strawberry blonde.

That's what I would say.

I love watching little kids speak foreign languages. My brain goes "that little girl can speak French!" though logically, of course she can speak French. She IS French!

That girl is actually speaking really good French, she has a great vocabulary (despite mispronouncing chicken pox) and even uses the passé simple at one point. Of course, even though no one uses it in conversation, it is probably used in her storybooks, but still. SO CUTE!!

ETA: Happy Birthday, Hil!!!

despite mispronouncing chicken pox

And don't forget "popotamus"! So adorable! (And I'd agree that she'd be one of those amazingly, precociously verbal kids no matter what language she grew up with. Proto-buffista in the wild.)

OK - not sure exactly what the puppies are doing right now, and probably don't want to. It looked like wrasslin' at first, but now...
