Fuss's new favorite book

My Booky Wook by Russel Brand.

It was my nighttime read last week, when Fuss was popping awake at about ten. He would sit up and point at the pages and laugh along. The wife's efforts to interest him in something more age appropriate were met with arm-waving disdain. He would shove the board book away, crawl over me and drag My Booky Wook back from where I'd hidden it, patting the cover and smiling.

This morning I woke up and he was sitting next to me, book in hand, chortling happily to himself.
Fortunately the camera was nearby to document this formative event.

True Customer Tales

gal wanders up to counter.

Do you have your calendars yet?

It being (barely) September, I do a double take and say "excuse me?"

gal: Do you have your calendars yet, you usually have your calendars now.

me: They usually show up in late November or early December.

gal: *stares at me blankly then wanders away*

True Customer Tale UPDATE

Today leads off with a call from the son of yesterday's serial caller ringing up to ask the same questions because "mom is a little bit confused".

I supply the details, he thanks me and hopefully that'll be the end of it until these legendary cookbooks roll through the door.
