In my college days I was quite the sap for Sandra Boynton's greeting cards. One that continues to reverberate is a birthday card. There are a handful of people who would recognize the phrase if (when) I use it. Now you're one more.We read her ABC book to the girls when they were little. A, for Aardvark Admiring, B for Beavers Ballooning. Lilah looking up at me with a big grin when we'd get to Gopher's Grinning is one of those 'oh, that's why being a parent can be so incredibly cool' memories.
All triggered, ironically, by Paul Krugman's blog.
