I want one

Because I think I'd enjoy inflating it. Particularly if I were in a middle seat on a crowded flight. Worth the $29.95, I think.

I would probably have to get the Head Spa Massager too. If I'm going to fly in comfort, no reason to hold back.

I'm considering getting one

Who wouldn't want "the sensation of hundreds of fingers simultaneously massaging your scalp."

Especially since it's "easy to use while at your office desk, on the morning commute, or while enjoying your evening television program."

Plus, I think I'd make a lot of new friends if I got one.

First Grade Tragedy

Lily burst into tears the other night. Little boys in her first grade class had teased her that afternoon saying that another little boy was in love with her. And he wasn't even in her class. And he didn't even know her so how (*sob*) could he love her? (*tragic sob*).

But the capper was yet to come.

The new boy in her class (he just moved to Berkeley a few weeks ago) said something even worse.

She was too embarassed to even say it out loud.

I convinced her that it was always okay to say embarassing things to your mom, and that she could whisper it in my ear if it helped.

She did.

"Mommy, he said he wanted to marry me. And he said it out loud. And I think people heard him."

She flung herself on my lap, shaking with sobs.

"WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT??!!"
