Viola with Violas
Submitted by jessica on August 1, 2010 - 8:36pm
These and other pictures from our trip to Portland last month (for father's day/Joe's birthday) over in the photos section. They're all mixed in with others from this year; I suppose it's time to start a new album. Viola just turned 19 months!

These are the conversations that make me love my peeps.
Me, drawing a picture of Viola's favorite air travel vessel: Mama's drawing a blimp!
Viola: Bimp!
Me, drawing clouds: What are these?
Viola: ...
Me: Clouds?
Viola: Couds!
Me, drawing the sun: What's this?
Viola, triumphant: Pider!!*

Me, in living room, playing with Viola, yelling to Joe in the kitchen: Were you the one who told me just a few years ago that "We Are the World" was about AIDS?
Joe: Uh, maybe.
Me: It's so weird that I didn't know it was about AIDS. Kind of like I didn't know "Who's the Boss" was about class.
(pause)
Joe: Actually, I'm in here thinking, "Did I know that 'We Are The World' was about AIDS?" So, I'm probably not the one who told you. Unless I knew at one time and just forgot.
Me: It's not really something you'd forget.
Joe: No, it's really the perfect thing to forget.
