Lynne likes to write up these “funny moments with baby J” and e-mail them to her friends. I’ve thought a few times about blogging them, but I always figure it’s a little too meta. However, here’s one I took part in, so I guess I’m entitled this time.

So, from this morning’s mailbag:

“April 26 2005, 10ish at night -

Chatting with Lightspeedchick (MJ) on the phone for the first time in what? Ever? Anyhoo. As it is my life now, the conversation switches to what I did with J during the evening. I read to her for the first time. So Mommy is reading Le Petit Prince, trying to put as much expression as she can to keep her interest. Its working! She is listening wide-eyed and all, sometimes interrupting me to comment.

So I am describing all this to MJ. And of course, this film school, psych major (and what was the other one Ecology) replies to me: ‘You know Lynne. It doesn’t matter what you read. You could be reading Pr0n and you still would get the same result.’ And then she continues in this fun, upbeat voice you use to speak to children: ‘And Black Beauty took out his giant, hard c*ck and blah, blah, blah… pearly white cummmm’.

Aaaaaaargh mauzusse MJ! Now I have to find myself a new babysitter!”

Of course, she’s all prudish about it now, but outrage wasn’t her reaction last night. As I recall, she said something like: “L’alphabet: C comme dans Caca, Cul, Couille, Clitoris”…

And there was much hysterical laughter.
