That's an argument

Still arguing with the kid that Fu Manchu is better than the Fresh Beat Band. Someday I will be right to her.

Boooo!!!!

The kid is getting scare of the concept of Halloween. This will not be the year I show her Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Maybe she can handle Delaware Papercut.

a good excuse

The joy of making sure her latest haircut has bangs is no longer fearing she'll have lunch stuck in her hair.

Alternate Medicine

Josie let me know the other day that she's religious about eating an apple for lunch because she never wants to see the doctor ever again. I'll be canceling her health insurance.

Oh Kate.

A lazy morning before school. We listen to Kate Bush and the kid sings along with The Man With the Child In His Eyes. It was the kind of moment that would bring Steven Coogan to tears.

There is always hope for her record collection.

Like Little House on the Prarie

Something went wrong with the cable box so we're without 400 channels. I tried to make it up with Netflix. but nothing seems to want to load or they don't have what the kid wants. We've been reduced to watching Youtube on the TV. Mostly it's videos of her reviewing DVDs. She's loving it. Guess this is the modern version of watching 8mm home movie except with sound.

Don't Whine Yet

Josie's in her "I don't want to go to school" mood. She wanted to stay home and watch cartoons. While this is an admirable quality, she hasn't felt the pain of Organic Chemistry with an inorganic instructor.
