When Handsome Went Crazy

It must be possible to inherit the obsession gene.

My daughters are obsessed with the same music I love (most of the time), as they beg me to play these songs over and over.

The latest song on repeat is this (Blonde Redhead's Spain):


. . .

Neve is singing along in the backseat when she asks, "What does this lady look like?"

I show her a picture.


"And are those her boyfriends?"

"Well, the one without a beard is her husband, and the other guy is his brother."

"Mom?  Do you think they're handsome?"

"Yeah.  They are."

"Do you think Daddy is handsome?"

"So handsome."

"Mom?  Don't you think Daddy would be more handsome if he wasn't so funny all the time?"

"I don't think so."

My daughter and a friend last Sunday. They are barely 4 yrs old:
Daughter: I want to make something for my dad.
Friends:Let's make something pretty for him.(she proceeds to get out the glitter)
Daughter: (long pause) I want to make him something handsome, because he is handsome.
(another long pause as a light flashes in her brain) And something silly, because he's silly!

That's all I have to say, besides I love your blog.

I adore them.
And Jeff is another fan of the dog as dance partner move. Daisy loves it as much as Banjo appears to.

Mom, no way. Thank heavens that Lambert and Beiber are not on their radar yet. I just burped some puke.

Jil, welcome! Any friend of Erin is a friend of mine. She's the best. And thanks for coming out of hiding!

Bridgette, nothing says sexy like glitter-tolerant, handsome, and silly husbands/dads.

Erin, I wanna be in Indy holdin' that baby.

Lisa, when I leave Indy I'm headed to LA so we can dance with dogs together.

xoxo, all ya'll.
