I know nobody likes hearing lame stories about other people’s kids, but a seminal event in our family occurred this morning when my two and a half year old daughter declared that her favorite song is the Ramones’ “Sheena is a Punk Rocker.”

She could now go on to win a Nobel Prize and I wouldn’t be as proud of her as I was this morning. She has rejected the Wiggles/Barney/Nemo paradigm and is destined to kick ass.
