How the Other Half Lives
I’m back from my trip, up early due to the time change, actually getting a few things done before 10 a.m., which is nice. Back with fresh grievances against the TSA (did you know that sealed, in-their-original-individually-sized-containers applesauce and chocolate pudding, aka my son’s food during all-day travel ordeals, are liquid and gel, respectively? I didn’t, despite having taken these items on numerous flights before without incident. I do now), back to the usual routine … just back.
Lileks says he doesn’t know anybody who can eat a box of saltines before they go bad. At Chez Anwyn, soup is consumed is vast quantities that mow through a box of saltines in far less than a month. Plus the fact that one of the Bean’s favorite dishes is egg salad on a cracker.
Anne’s daughter Lily wants for her spring break … to stay home. Well, I guess we’ll be doing the same thing since we just took a week’s vacation when it wasn’t actually spring break.
And Rachel Lucas (surprise, surprise, surPRISE!) hates “MommyBloggers.” You mean, like, telling the story about how when I viewed Sunny’s campaign video, my son requested repeated (and I do mean REPEATED) viewings of its predecessor, “Sunny Pesters Digger,” and then proceeded to act it out with me:
Son: “I’m Sunny. You’re Digger.”
Me: “Okay.”
Son: “I will bark at you, and you growl.”
Me: “Okay.”
Son: “Ruff. Ruff. I’m pestering you, Digger!!”
Me: “Growl.”
There you go, Rachel, that one’s on the house. MommyBlogging comes at a premium around here. Son sends his love … for Sunny and Digger.

More like: “Digger ignores Sunny ’cause Sunny won’t shut up!” But I can see how a toddler would enjoy it. Maybe I’ll show it to Miri…

Welcome home! Hope it was a good vacation.
Did you have to throw away the sealed containers of pudding or were they allowed on the plane?
It’s ridiculous, but not when you remember that there was that woman in England who tried to board a flight with explosives in her baby’s bottle.
