Oh Snap.

another beautiful photo by Anna Watson.

I hear the sound of crying coming from the other room.

Angry footsteps approach.

. . . 


Neve:  MOM!  Fiona hurt my feelings!

Me:  What happened?

Neve:  She did this {air quotes with her fingers} to me, and that's not really NICE!

Me:  The nerve.

Neve:  Yes!  She said, 'I might like the color blue, but I don't like {air quotes} "BLUE FLIP FLOPS"!'


. . .



Fiona comes running toward our direction to defend herself.

Fiona:  Mom, She was asking too many questions about the color blue is all!

I've got a lot of questions about the color blue but I'll be sure and not ask them at Casablanca.
