Jimmy: Anne Rice.
Grace: Who's she?

Now and forever

Dragontales is still in my blood.

Jimmy wishes this would happen to him

2008-01-16T18:05:00.000-08:00

"The sentences are coming at me so quickly."

She's deep

2008-01-12T06:01:00.001-08:00

"[Name redacted] sort-of doesn't know how life works."

Logic

At the peak of this morning's braiding emergency

2007-11-16T05:30:00.000-08:00

[screaming] Dad! You don't anything about anything! Capiche?!

Must prioritize

2007-11-15T18:02:00.000-08:00

"I'm thirsty and I have to go to the bathroom."

"explanation point"

2007-11-05T06:18:00.001-08:00

That's what she says instead of "exclamation point."

Last night, at 11.02 pm, she's asleep, but ...

2007-10-30T06:28:00.000-07:00

...she shouts "Mom!" Then, quieter, she says, "I'm a pirate."

What I don't have and what I have

2007-10-28T18:44:00.000-07:00

Before it's too late

2007-10-27T08:10:00.000-07:00

Ask her anything

"I am a walking Eli encyclopedia."

Not the game I brought her up to play

2007-10-26T11:24:00.000-07:00

"Dad, let's play Fox News!"

After noticing that her vegetarian siblings weren't home for dinner

2007-10-26T09:32:00.000-07:00

"Yay, it's meat night!"

Not today

2007-10-26T07:12:00.001-07:00

"I always have these great ideas, but not today."

Disparity

2007-10-15T04:12:00.001-07:00

"I have a little iPod and you all have glasses."

More evidence that her parents are insufficiently attuned to her

2007-10-05T06:17:00.000-07:00

"You only wash things that I can't wear on drowsy days."

Whose nut?

2007-10-01T18:20:00.000-07:00

Jane: Grace, you're a nut.
Grace: But I'm your nut.

Just before the boil
