This is a picture of my niece and me. When I was in St. Louis, we made a pact that every time my mother took a picture of us, we would stick out our tongues. My mom took seven pictures of us over the course of two days before she gave up.


About an hour ago, I called up my sister. After speaking with her a little while, she told me that she had to go because she was reading my blog. I was interrupting her from reading me. That’s weird.

Here’s an e-mail I got from my mom:

OK, your blog made some good points. However (mom, educator and generally nice person speaking here), overuse of f*** becomes boring and redundant and makes you appear less intelligent than you are. Get creative and come up with something else!!

All my love,
Mom.

Ahh, family.
