movie minute

So, yesterday Mimi and I got a sitter for Kiddo and went to see a movie. A real movie at a real movie theatre. That was the first time we've done that since Kiddo arrived on the scene. It was fun. We went to see Juno which is a sweetheart of a movie with a great cast (JK Simmons is my hero) and probably owes a huge debt to every Wes Anderson movie ever, but we liked it a lot.

Anyway, and if I ruin anything for you I apologize, at one point "Mark," played by Jason Bateman who continues to look like a slightly younger version of my older brother, is going through his comic book collection and he comes out with this comic book* that he presents to the pregnant protagonist of the film:

We missed the next couple of minutes of the movie because we were laughing a little too hard and repeatedly punching each other. Not sure, but a nickname may have been bestowed upon our dear daughter that day.

And while we are in no way suggesting we want our daughter to become pregnant as a teenager, if she wanted to become a ninja we would be okay with that.

panicky interlude

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post. Because Kiddo is in a Japanese daycare, parents are asked to remove their shoes before coming in. No problem. I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
