Today we've been coming up with ways of entertaining Daddy while bedridden and unable to talk. Julie tried to read him a sci fi short story that she hadn't pre-screened, but that was a fail when the next sentence started with "Then he pulled his pants down". Abort!
Jaron was complimented on his broadcast voice while reading some news tidbits out loud. Julie found some interactive features in the electronic version of Wired and showed him the technology behind today's fireworks shows, what goes in to McD's fries, the anatomy of thoroughbred horses, and...
Jenny woke up from her princess nap and showed up just in time for us to be asked to hang out in the waiting room. No problem, as it gives Julie a chance to screen short stories for length and appropriateness.
Please share the McD's fries article :)
