Did I tell you Jesse finished "Life of Pi" the other day? I could tell exactly when she finished it. An hour earlier she was gushing at me with, "This is my FAVORITE book EVER!!!" while I watered flowers, and demurely smiled. When I had moved on to sweeping the patio and heard her scream from the lounge chair, I knew. She was MAD! She threw the book at me and stormed in the house. It made me laugh, and laugh. I tried to tell her that any book that can get that kind of a reaction is much better than she's letting on. She's having none of it.
