Atticus anecdote

Last night Atticus was reading jokes to us from her joke book.

She now "gets it." She was very excited to be able to explain what the puns and sound-the-same jokes meant. She then created a sort of contest where one would receive two thumbs up if you "got it" and she was tallying up our scores. It was very involved and she was really in command.

I said to her, "You're going to be in charge of something someday."

She said, "Yeah, I'm going to be a judge!"

Terry and I were so amazed, proud, tickled, and were gleaming over her when she added,

"Like Paula."

So, Attie is a Paula Abdul fan because she is "the nice judge" and yes, we let her watch American Idol.

It has been very hot lately and we are enjoying the early summer.
