plotting a neutral course

[magicicada]

yesterday, sylvia decided two of her ballerina/princess/sparkly dolls were going to get married to each other. now, weddings around here are about as common as birthdays for ducky (we think he's about 1397 years old by now). i did not try to correct her, or to explain the precarious legal status of gay marriage. my one response was that it was somewhat unusual for two girls to get married. her response - that's ok, they're fairies. ba da bing!

jeff and i left the room without comment.

It's moments like those that almost make it all worth it. Almost. :)

That's just beautiful :)

My friend has a similar one where he keeps sitting down with his son to watch Toy Story 2, and there's a point in the movie where there's a standee or something of the cowboy, and his son keeps exclaiming, "That's a big Woody!" and laughing.

when ducky is 1987 let us know, to send a card! ;) seriously!

Yay for gay marriage. It should exist!
