Every morning before Ben leaves for school (usually around 6:30 or 7 AM), he creeps into the bedroom to kiss me goodbye. This is really sweet, but usually I'm sleeping and either have no recollection of the kissing at all, get really dismissive of his affection -- "yeah, yeah, great" -- or a little grumpy -- "OMG, just leave!"

This morning it was particularly dark when Ben came in for his kiss. He overshot my head by a good three inches and ended up kissing the pillow.

Me: "Whatcha doing?"

Ben: "Oh, there it is."

Me: "There what is?"

Ben: "Your pie hole."

[kiss]

Ben: "Bet you'll remember this one."

I'm the only person in the office so far today.

Just a moment ago I thought "What if I'm not the only person in the office right now? What if I just can't see anyone else?"

And then I got scared.

There is a bird in our backyard who begins warbling every night around 9pm and doesn't stop until dawn. Our neighbors call him "that bird." It would appear he likes to imitate car alarms in his song.

"Chicks do dig cars," I say.

What could possibly be the cause of his confusion? I am asking you, Livejournal. Please tell me!

I would happily buy this bird some therapy. Baby needs some sleep!

I don't think I will ever stop being delighted by these pictures. Today at WonderCon:
