Young Frankenstein is coming to the Wharton Center here in East Lansing, and there has been a continuous onslaught of commercial advertisements for it. The most familiar one is when the monster sings in his off-key, monotone monster voice, "Puttin...On...The...Riiiiiiiitz!"
I've been singing this all around the house much to Adam's (initial) amusement and (now) annoyance. I sing it loud and obnoxious, just like the monster does. I dunno, it makes me feel good to be loud and obnoxious for no reason at all. I think I'm channeling my inner Ramona Quimby here. Hey, it makes Bryony laugh...or at least, stop and stare. Works for me.
Puttin on the riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitz!

Ramona!! I keep reminding myself to make sure Mabel reads those books when she gets a little older. Loved 'em!!!!!
Sarah,
Shannon got me the set of Ramona books a few Christmases ago, and now I've been reading them aloud to Bryony at night before bedtime...she's too young to understand, but a)I LOVE these books, and b)I figure getting her into them early on means she'll love them even more once she's old enough to understand them. Perhaps they can be a special bonding thing between you and Mabel one day!
