Here’s Lily doing her latest hand gesture (it’s a whole lot better than the other one she learned from me while riding around in the car - and we’ll just leave it at that, shall we?). This is for Risa and Tori - she yells “HOOKER HORNTHS (Hook em Horns)!” She still has a touch of her sweet lisp left. We prefer to think of her doing her best Mr. Vernon impression from The Breakfast Club - “Don’t mess with the bull, young man - you’ll get the horns!” Yeah!!! But for the Bliss family’s sake, we’ll say that she is wishing the Texas Longhorns well. Whatever makes you happy. Actually, Lily is probably saying, “Get off my property, ya friggin’ redneck - or I’ll shoot ya!”

Speaking of movies, I had a moment of feeling incredibly OLD today. For some reason Phil and Jennifer and I were joking around about something, and Phil said, “I want my TWO DOLLAHS” and we both started imitating the newspaper boy on a bike from Better Off Dead. Aaron, Phil’s employee who is probably like 22 or something, had NO IDEA what we were talking about and was obviously not amused by three people simultaneously shouting “TWO DOLLAHS! TWO DOLLAHS” while giggling. Oh well. I know that this particular movie was not a John Hughes film, but all of that genre defined my high school years (even though my stodgy parents didn’t let me see Breakfast Club: “Oh, Cristina - it’s rated R!!! That’s a no, I’m afraid!” - I had to sneak out and see it on the sly). Now I can see all the R rated movies I want!!! Being over 18 rules, even if I am going to need glasses soon!
