My crazy-maker:
Does anyone else see it? I will give you a minute.
Yes. That book is fricking out of Dewey Decimal order. Kudos for putting the SuperWhy characters in the correct, 398.2 section of the library. That is where fairy tales are found. But OH MY GOD it makes me cringe each and every time we start the show (which is OFTEN) because WHY IS THAT BOOK OUT OF ORDER? Who is not shelf-reading the Super Why library? You may claim "realism" or something, I suppose. You may claim real libraries, my own included, are rarely in perfect order thanks to idiots and children. But those excuses will not sway me. This is just wrong wrong wrongity wrong wrong.

Last night, I realized mid-diatribe that it was the second night in a row that my pillow talk with Wes had focused entirely on this week's Apple announcement. My hopes, my dreams, my fears. Each night as I went to sleep, I wanted nothing more than to hash them all over with my beloved. He, however, found this strangely irritating. I cannot imagine why.
"Honey, I am so excited for the announcement. I wonder what it will look like. I wonder what it will do. Do you think it will really kill the Kindle? Do you think it will have word processing? Do you think it will team up with the New York Times? Maybe it will save the publishing industry! Just think of it...!!!"
"Good night," he said forcefully, putting in his ear plugs, pulling down his eye mask.
I texted (or can breathless Apple excitement count as "sexting"?) him as I watched the closest thing I could get to a livefeed (streaming, updating bloggish quotes/posts with photos).
"IPAD!" I texted.
"Ushering in a new age of digital media!" I texted.
"Can we talk about it tonight in bed?" He texted.
I will state for the record, though, that HE was the one who immediately wrote I WANT IT after viewing the video.
Which I assume you have seen. But just in case you haven't YOU SHOULD.
