Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

until we Ferberized him at 10 months

I read that as Febreezed too! What is Ferberizing? I'm trying to imagine and can't.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What is Ferberizing? I'm trying to imagine and can't.

I think Ferber is a doctor who came up with a technique for getting babies into a regular sleep pattern. We did something similar with Ryan, following a book called Save Our Sleep. (Key similarity: put the baby in bed while he or she is still awake, and - to some extent at least - if they get upset, let them cry it out, with the goal of helping the baby learn how to soothe themselves instead of relying on their parents to do so.)

Someone reassure me about the presidential election.

Yeah, but that's not reassuring me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Romney's not going to win. Because he can't carry Ohio after Obama saved the auto industry, and he can't carry Florida because Ryan pissed off the old people. Everything else is moot.

Okay, I like that. More of that.

Maybe Ryan will cackle maniacally through his debate.
