Mark this day: we’ve passed a major milestone

We’re in the car, telling jokes.

Me: “Knock knock.”

Jack: “Who’s there?”

“Interrupting cow.”

“Interrup-“

“MOOOO!”

“Mom, you’re interrupting me!”

“That’s what Interrupting Cow does!”

“Oh!” We both laugh hysterically, and I tell myself to remember this so I can write it down when I’m not driving. (Success!)

Jack: “Knock knock!”

Me: “Who’s there?”

Jack: “Interrupting chicken!”

“Interrupti-“

“CHICKEN!”

He laughs because he’s 5, and I laugh because “CHICKEN!”

When he told the interrupting chicken joke at bathtime later, the chicken made appropriate chicken noises when interrupting. Little baby is growing up!

Is this thing on?

Hi. I’m still here. We’re all fine. I’m still reading. I still think about this site periodically, and I would like it to keep existing. It needs a LOT of updates, so it’ll likely be down for a while, not that anyone would notice (myself included).

I’m not sure when that’s going to happen. I need to collaborate with my live-in IT guy, and we’re both pretty busy and VERY protective of our free time.

We will figure it out, though. Probably.
