I made The KingofHearts go buy me this edition of the Frederick News-Post last Saturday when we were having lunch in Frederick, mostly because I am a font geek and I noticed immediately that the weight and point size of "Congress Passes Stimulus" was exactly the same as size as "Dog Dies." Also, because the dog's name was Bubba and Bubba got his picture in the paper when congress didn't and that, I find funny.
Getting this paper purely for blog post fodder proved to be problematic because The Dormouse (who now Reads. The. Paper. [!!]) read the entire article and then spent the next hour and a half in the car moping about how sad she was to hear about Bubba's death. So let that be a lesson to all you who have very young children: Never let them learn to read.

When my oldest daughter was young I taught her about expiration dates on food. For the next 20 years she has made my life miserable looking for those dates and refusing to eat anything near that date. You would think I was trying to poison her!!!!!

Why even let them learn enough to begin reading? I say, don't let them learn how to spell! Can't even have a conversation around them anymore without the older ones figuring out what we're saying. Kristen and I have had to switch to speaking Spanish around them sometimes, but wouldn't you know they're figuring out that too! Damn these kids these days for being smart!!!

@Jan & Scott: Yes... sometimes you know exactly how and when something you do as a parent will come back to bite you in the butt; other times it's way more esoteric, isn't it?
