kyburg | What it looks like -

President Barack Obama in the Oval Office with former White House Communications Director Ellen Moran and her family, June 24, 2009.

About the only thing you'll find in clear is that Ellen Moran is virulently, unabashedly pro-choice. I'm also able to confirm she's married.

Did she adopt? Not so sure. And you know, that's completely okay - if so, it's the kid's right to have their story remain theirs. Yanno, privacy and all that. If not, who would care?

Uh. Think I've left a voicemail for her? You'd be dead in the black if you said yes.

The reason I bring this up (and I saw the picture on the feed, squee'd and decided it needed to be shared, c'mon) was that I looked and knew exactly what the response to nectarines would be by my kid - anything orange is EVIL. Remember this. ORANGE=INSTANT DEATH NO WAY AAAAAAA

So.

I don't know if this is ever going to wear off, but for today - brightly colored anything is not a friend. The billboards proclaiming that you should be providing peas and carrots as a Good Parent just makes me smurfle - my kid would think I was trying to poison him. (I may try peas frozen soon. My Mom's old trick.)

But that posture behind the little girl...yup, that's what it looks like. C'mon, it's okay....

I can't even get the kid to take fruit-flavored vitamins.

That said, the amusing moment last night was after a trip to Marukai where we got 'Baba's soda, Mama's soda, MYYYY soda...' and his choice was the 'ZOOOCE' (Zoo Juice) because it had dinosaurs (and other animals) on the label. It's clear like Sprite.

Fruit-flavored. "I don't know if you're going to like this...." Said, as pouring a serving at dinner last night.

"MY SODA!" *slurps happily*

*registers* *Ew face* "YUCKY!" Thuds glass. Then looks at bottle.

Reiterates DINOSAUR! on bottle by himself. Doggie! Kitty! Penquin!

*slurps again*

"YUCKY!" Thuds glass. The demands a refill.

And so it went.

Can't die at dinner table. No dying at dinner table.
