today, the family trekked to our mountain house for my dad's birthday. after lunch, morgan hauled me up to the top so she could play on the zip line. she spends several minutes pulling a chair to it and hoisting herself up while i, i lay purposeless in the grass, all but chewing it:
me: need help?
morgan: whatever.
me: painfully stupid silence
morgan: you know, mame, if the world were smart, we'd have no cars and lots of string to zip around the world on.
last week, morgan begins what i think is a knock-knock joke:
morgan: hey, what's the difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull?
me: what?
morgan: nothing. that lady's stupid.
morgan: nothing. that lady's stupid.
this is after my sister astutely said, "i mean, she ran what, exactly? alaska? i mean, i could govern alaska. it's hardly a state. they're, like, nine people up there."

I love the one about Sarah Palin. Your niece is adorable, as usual.
per usual, cole. i'm only waiting for stevie, my alaskan, to revolt...

alaska is i am sure a wonderful place. but i can only assume it would be more wonderful without sarah palin.
