Emmett's school play had it's second and final night tonight.
Matilda saw her first play, and was pretty entranced with the whole theatrical experience, though she wanted to be with Emmett when he was on stage. She did pretty well and mostly talked in a whisper but had one failure of restraint.
He played the big bad wolf and when he failed to blow down the last piggy house, she yelled (loudly enough to be heard by surrounding rows): "Blow Emmett! Blow, my brother!"
I don't know where she got the diction of "Blow, my brother!" but it was pretty funny.
Fortunately it was not the kind of play where such an outburst was more of an enhancement than detracting from the experience.
I had to order today's shirt.woot.com - grammar propaganda! And for a bonus, the comments on the site are discussing whether it should have mentioned Strunk & White instead of a dictionary.
There's a man here in the ER loudly proclaiming his irritation at the redundancy of "tuna fish." I could give him more points, but he doesn't know what the T in "ATM machine" stands for.

I respect his point of view, but if he finds that irritating the rest of the world must feel like rough wool on a sweaty sunburn.
He sounds like the kind of guy that thrives on irritation. Plus, if we didn't call it tuna fish, how would Jessica Simpson know what we were talking about?
Never thought about 'tuna fish' before, but it is redundant, isn't it?
Foremost, I figure if he isn't aware of the T in ATM, he shouldn't hassle other people about being aware of the M. Secondly, I doubt anyone's language stands up to the sort of paring you're getting down to by insisting the "fish" be removed from "tuna fish."
But he's one of those people I'd happily say "NBA basketball" all day to annoy, based on ten minutes of his overloud conversation.
I'm never getting to go back into the ER.
Mac and I are waiting for the grandparents and uncle to show up to go skating, it is decided chilly and there's wind. I should have worn gloves.

I hope that you won't need to. Are you home now?
msbelle, do you skate at Bryant Park?
Man, the apple tarts I made yesterday turned out so good, I wish I had made more. My family would have been impressed with my pastry. Ah well. And I bet if I made more now, they wouldn't be as good. Aside from the fact that we are days away from pie-a-palooza.
