I hope you did better at your visit with the new little lady today than I did. The father was very cordial to me this morning at drop-off, so he must have forgiven me for insisting that the baby was too cold, was going to roll off of the sofa, had her diaper on too tight, etc. All despite the fact that she slept perfectly peacefully the whole time I was at their house. Of course, you probably brought homemade cookies.

Listen, I know you can parent better than ANYBODY (hey world, if you have a newborn, don't let her over!), but what you really need is a blog. I'd read it! You are too funny to deny the world your bon mots.

So I finally made it into your blog! I knew that some day I would do something OUTRAGEOUS enough to deserve it. Didn't think it would be for neglecting to adequately prepare my daughter that I was going to be abandoning her at your horrible-no-good-newly-remodeled-regularly-cleaned-full-of-toys-and-even-a-spinning-chair!-house. I asked her today if she would like a drop off playdate there again. And she said "NO!" with some other choice words for me. So it looks like if Pie wants to play with her, YOU'RE going to be stuck with making small talk with me and my drooly baby! Or lots of drop off playdates at our house, I guess.

Now how to get in your novel. . .
