Comedy classics

Couldn’t be more pleased to report that the other morning I drove Rebekah in to school instead of standing out in the pouring rain waiting for the bus, and when we got to the school and I walked her to the door, we passed the sitting (not idling!) school buses with their doors open and she looked into one, looked back up at me, mimed holding a spray can in her hand, and said: “This is glue. Strong stuff.” (So, letting them see “The Blues Brothers” was definitely worth it, even though there’s now the chance that they’ll think saying “I guess you’re up shit creek” to a nun is the funniest thing in the world. In fact, it is.)
