Lilly calls him “my uncle Peter.” He has certainly become accomplished at the uncle-ly arts, chief among them that of making mere dads look kind of stodgy and lame by comparison. Right, thanks for the clothes, dad. Now uncle Peter, he gave me this cool set of knitted finger puppets that will encourage my creativity and stimulate my intellectual growth. Bye, gotta go play now.
Also for Lilly’s birthday, we saw “Flushed Away,” the animated movie made by Dreamworks with the Wallace and Gromit people. Its one I’ve-never-seen-anything-like-that moment was when one of the evil henchfrogs delivers a live message from his evil toad boss by strapping on a video cell phone so the boss’s face is in front of the henchman’s, and the minion then lets the boss talk and mimes the boss’s body language. I don’t know why this is so funny, but it was worth the price of the ticket right there.
