Sometimes I ask Franny if I can post things, like her hula hoop video. Now that she is 9, I am very mindful of the fact that soon other little cretins friends will be on the internet, looking for evidence that their classmates are mortal and fallible. Of course I will not tell you the naughty things she does and says. She is always perfect, casual, talented, and good-looking.

So she’s not embarrassed yet.

FRANNY: “MOM TAKE A PICTURE OF US AND PUT IT ON THE INTERNET AND TELL EVERYONE WE ARE JUST HEADS AND THAT WE ARE YOUR PET HEADS OK.”

Okay.

Strudel, however, is still young enough to make a couple of mistakes.
