So, Emmett is about to leave for 8 days on the East Coast, and he's been urged to spend some quality time with Matilda this evening. Hence, they've spent the last hour or so running around like maniacs, pouncing on each other (Matilda: Come on, little horsie! Emmett: What do you think, I'm made of horses?) and have now moved on to the wholesome activity of duct-taping Emmett's pajamas onto Matilda and making her prance around like the whitest hip-hop midget in history.
She just shuffled down the hallway, flapping her too-long sleeves and staggering in her too-long pants and cackling, "My evilness! My evilness!" as Emmett followed her, saying scornfully, "You don't have any evilness!"

This comes from watching the Wicked Witch of the West get melted on YouTube, in case you were all wondering.

That's what he thinks.
David McCullough's Johnstown Flood book is where I first read one of my favorite quotes. A young Hearst reporter's dispatch from the flood began "God stood on a mountaintop here and looked at what his waters had wrought." William Randolph Hearst immediately cabled him, "Forget flood. Interview God."
Hey Gris, congratulations on many fronts!
I agree with the sentiment, but must confess to having misread it at first as "congratulations on many fonts" which was confusing because I only saw the one in Gris' posts.
Once again, Emmett and Matilda are the epitome of awesome siblingness.
wow. ok. I gave HKF's teacher for the past two years a gift card to Title 9, which is one of her favorite merchants. I filled out a gift card, and didn't see any extra charge for it, so I figured we were fine. I just got an email a week and a half after the purchase that I'd been charged $10 for the cheapo card they block-printed with my web form comment - Really T9? Yes, I deserve the smite for being lazy, but ... really?
Sox, that is ridiculous.
It's babysitting day. G is playing with his toys and I am bored out of my mind. I forgot to bring a book.
oh dear ... I know it's not nice to laugh, but I overheard someone in my office complaining that ever since he opened the e-mail message that came through in Chinese and tried to get it converted, his computer's been acting up.
