The Birds



And you thought German kids were so well-behaved.

The ad says,
"What now, darling parents?

Find the answer to 55 questions about parenting-- in Elternknigge (this seems to be some reference to a German children's book character named Mr. Knigge who teaches good manners. Eltern means parents) from Feb. 25th on in Die Zeit (newspaper)."



Putting on my socks and shoes is so hard! It's funny, ballet class is still basically fine-- I just don't jump very high and use less energy, but I'll be hornswaggled if I don't grunt and groan pulling up those socks. It's still a while before I can just slip on some flats...

Jeremy and I went to a crazy music/dance concert on Friday, and JP was jumping all around to the most hardcore, unmelodic new music. We may have a little John Cage on our hands instead of a Jean-Phillipe Rameau or John Philip Sousa. Ha! Rebelling already, what a guy. Either that, or he thought the music was totally wack.

The little girl looks so sweet while she flips off her parents!
Hornswaggled - you must be from Ohio! You're letting your roots show.
What will you do when you can't find your feet? Oh, Jeremy!

Glad to see that your eldest has a job moonlighting in the German obscene-gesture-modeling industry!
