A Rock

The girls got to spend the day with Lee today while I went to work since I usually work holidays. When I got home, Jenny told me to be quiet when I came into the house because Reagan was taking a nap. I asked what she'd been doing, and she told me she was learning things from Daddy. Here are a couple things she told me she learned:

-She should never go to Africa. Since mosquitoes really like her, she would probably die from malaria.
-Apparently Jenny has thought for a long time that American soldiers are stuck in "a rock." Using the globe, Lee was apparently able to get her to finally understand that they are in Iraq.

And one other funny I forgot to post last week - we were watching Headlines on The Tonight Show, and there was one showing a kid's menu at some restaurant that had a cartoony picture of a dinosaur eating a kid at the top. Jay commented that it was a strange choice for a kid's menu - scare them off with a dinosaur. Jenny said that she hoped the dinosaur would eat her worst enemy, Lorelai. And she said it just like that - her worst enemy. Did you have a worst enemy in first grade?

Reagan's just her usual crazy. It's hard to describe. I'll try to come up with something later. She's waiting not very patiently for me to paint her nails (asking me repeatedly as I type this). "Mama, are you finished yet because I really want my fingernails painted?"

You guys are amazing, and I miss you.

Yep, you guys are the best.
Also, Lorelai makes me think of one of the Elite Four in the original Pokemon game, so I can dig what Jenny's saying. She was my worst enemy, too -- her and her ice Pokemon...

How can Lorelai not make you think of Gilmore Girls, Marcus? That should be your first thought.
