Laura: "Don't you just love that basket!? All of the books and magazines are tidy under the coffee table now!"

Nick: "It's a basket."

Laura: "Yeah, but don't you think it looks really nice there?"

Nick: "I'm a guy. It's a basket."

Laura: "I got it on clearance! It was $37.99 marked down to $7.49!"

Nick: "I love the basket."

Nick and I went to see Superbad last night. I had wanted to see it as more and more I am finding Jonah Hill ridiculously funny. Nick had good recommendations on it from a friend at work, a friend who said that if we enjoyed Knocked Up (we did), we would LOVE Superbad (we did).

The final credits began rolling and we stood up, Nick saying, "That might be good enough to own."

I agreed, adding, "I wanna get Knocked Up." The heads of the people in the rows ahead of us twitched in our direction.

Nick, sounding somewhere between a rooster and Gilbert Gottfried, screamed, "WHAT!? We need to talk about this!"

"Mommy! It's been a looooong time and I'M STILL BORED!"

"Put your dress down, Honey."

That little girl is going to be a lot of fun in college.

"I bought stamps at work today," I began conversationally with Nick.

"Thank God." We were on our last. "You can buy stamps at work!?"

"Well, from the ATM machine."

"You have an ATM machine at work!?"

"Apparently."

"How many did you get? I usually buy 100 when I buy stamps."

I know all too well, as he bought a roll of 37¢ stamps in 2005 that we're just now finishing up. In case you're not aware, the cost of U.S. post has seen two increases since the 37¢ days, and I find the addition of those two 2¢ stamps quite telling of people that should never buy stamps in mass quantity.

After a week of rain, we have a sunny stretch before us. This morning's newscasters were so excited, and Jeff reminded, "You know what they say about April Showers!" Then, continuing on, "But do you know what May Flowers bring?" At the silence, he cheered, "PILGRIMS!"
