If you can believe it, I still haven't seen the segment myself, because the show is on late, I was tired, and I'm a dork who doesn't know how to program her nigh-defunct VCR. I'm supposed to get a DVD of the episode, so I can't wait to see it, despite my fear of looking like a spaz on TV. So thanks for the kind words; you've helped alleviate my fears somewhat.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613804843380827691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1138942387118003352006-02-02T20:53:00.000-08:002006-02-02T20:53:00.000-08:00I love the grumpy one!

It was robbed of any emotional impact for me, because in a production of middle school students, it turned into a total gong show. <BR/>I don't think we made it through a single rehearsal without giggling at the dumb poem I had to recite that ended with: "The sun and my parents are both the same. They have forgotten me, and left me, crying in the rain."<BR/>Geez.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1138941564468529472006-02-02T20:39:00.000-08:002006-02-02T20:39:00.000-08:00Awww... thanks for the compliments, guys.

What I love about having a baby is that there's no need for false modesty, so I can enthusiastically agree with you that he is both cute and awesome. Heh.<BR/><BR/>About that short story: I KNOW. It's one of the worst things I've ever read that didn't involve out-and-out violence and gore. Man. I can't believe they teach it to kids. I only read it the one time, about 25 years ago, and it's still haunting me. Stories like that ought to come with a warning.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613804843380827691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1138929195328581102006-02-02T17:13:00.000-08:002006-02-02T17:13:00.000-08:00Your boy is so cute.
