vacation check-in

[fox]

Note that if you tell a two-and-a-half-year-old child that you will carry her instead of making her walk or ride in the back of the double stroller (which, let it be noted, is her seat in the double stroller; she may want to ride in the front of the double stroller, but she hasn't done that since her sister got too big for the carrier that clicks into the back), but only as a special treat, so she is not to put up a fuss for her parents when there are no aunties in town to spoil her, you have got to be prepared to tote that child all over the place and never set her down for more than ten seconds together unless that's where she wants to go.

(For parents of small children:  we know, and we're sorry, but spoiling your kids is what we do, and you don't even know how many times I reminded her that this was a special auntie-in-town treat.  Honest.  She was going to cry when I left anyway.)



In other news, friend-in-law finally got me to watch Shaun of the Dead, mainly because we'd used up all the Black Books, of which they have the first two seasons (third en route), and why did I not know about this show before?!!?  You are all on notice.  [glares around]  (Okay, maybe except for the parents of small children, whom I owe one.)

I've been gushing about Black Books for the past year. Isn't it fantastic?! I want to be Bernard when I grow up...

You didn't know about Black Books? Damn, I would have mentioned it to you before if I'd known. That show is awesome beyond words.
