a born note-writer

my daughter has a new thing. she'll ask a question. i'll respond (and, in many cases, answer with a "no"). she'll then write the question in pretty cursive on a piece of paper, as to "sweeten the deal."
this time she asked for plain computer paper. i said "well, here's a notebook filled with blank paper."
what did she do?
she wrote on a piece of notebook paper, in very pretty cursive, "Please Can I Have Blank Paper?"

in the battle of wits, i'm not sure who's ahead.

one day she wrote me a note to quit bugging her. and she signed it "john wilkes booth."
(i can only assume they were discussing presidents or she's losing her mind.)

i dyed the hair tonight. "bright black," it's called. basically it's black but, when the light hits is just so, there is the blue square like veronica in the archie comics.

getting ready for the trip to mexico with the hansen family. should be interesting and fun -- not that i tan, am able to swim or enjoy extreme heat/humidity, but vacation is always a good time, esp. with the hansen kids. (i'm assuming you know i'm referring to dustin's family and not the perpetrators of the "Mmm Bop" song.)

the latest written question? "When can i get a cell phone?"

How many Mmms are in the title of that song, anyhow?
I just checked. Not surprisingly, I couldn't find that song on their official site. On a fan site however, my three-M title was correct.

time to make child sleep. for the next 12 hours, hopefully.
