Symptoms

"Is your brother still sick, Felix?"

"Sort of but not as bad as night before last when he had a fever. When I touched him it felt like ---"

"Touching a hot oven that you're making pizza in?"

"No."

"Touching a kid who's been outside playing soccer on a really hot day?"

"No."

"Touching the top of your head after you stand under the heater?"

"No. He felt like if you had the heater on and you were making pizza in the oven and you were standing next to the oven on a really hot day."

"Oh, wow."

"I know."

Awwww

"Mom? What was the best thing that ever happened to you? Besides me?"

"Meeting Dad. What about you?"

"The best thing was probably when I figured out that you guys are my parents."

In the Cards

"Is that good?"

"Mom, come on! Seriously?! Are we even related?!"

Preschooled, The Novel

Anna and Me, partying so hard

My funny-as-hell friend Anna wrote another book.

Preschooled is a novel that lets you fall in love with its characters while making you laugh. You don't have to be a parent to appreciate this peek into the lives of the grown-ups involved in a prestigious preschool on LA's westside, you just have to like books that are funny and smart and good. I know you like all those things.

Be sure to watch the fantastic book trailer HERE.
And then buy the book HERE.

Seriously

I thought we all agreed this was MY chair.
