November 30, 2011

Before the indoor {and outdoor} McDonald’s playgrounds were swabbed for e.coli & strep, there was an infiltration of another kind: bored, small-town teenagers with a school cafeteria tray who weren’t into drugs & beer.  You heard it here first:  kids who ate pizza, drank diet coke, & played Twister for fun.

November 21, 2011

When Ellie’s preschool class was asked “How do you cook a turkey?”, their teacher recorded each child’s response.  Can you guess which response was Ellie’s?
