Yea, you! (I'd be a wee bit crabby.) Isn't the snot thing amazing? Someone should publish a scientific article about it, maybe while wearing a fez... Eli's pretty sophisticated. My (just last week became a) seven year old is just now wrapping his mind around the whole Anakin/Vader thing. The eleven year old, though, seems to have worked through his abandonment and betrayal issues. He blames the emperor. Mostly the seven year old breathes heavily into his hands and chants, "I am your father!" Aren't we geeks? Our small children know who Anakin Skywalker and Douglas Adams are. Throw in some Pratchett and Heinlein (and Mario, and Ratchet and Clank), and we're all living in my husband's perfect world. You are SO NOT CRABBY about it! Yea, you! (I’d be a wee bit crabby.)

That would have been a great photo, though to save for future blackmail. :) Hope Eli gets to feeling better! Redheads are the best smoochers.
