Her father's child

Alison had a book fair at school yesterday. I sent her w/ $15 and a written note that she was only to buy books, not posters or trinkets. She came home w/ 2 books. One of them was decent. The other was "101 things you can do to gross people out", subtitled "Things your parents will barely approve of". It came complete w/ a miniature (yet completely functional) whoopie cushion. Yes, she is most certainly Thornton's child through and through. Why the school had this book available for purchase by a 6 year old is beyond me. It is completely inappropriate and full of jokes that I would never let her repeat. So, sadly, the book is going back on Monday and she will get to pick something else. OK...I'll admit, you gotta smile at a kid who would pick that book...don't you?

Patrick had a sleep over last night for a friend's 13th birthday. Alison has a skating party today to go to. Birthday parties are expensive! Maybe I should wish for unpopular kids! HA!
