The nephew turned 6 today, which is a great age. Tonight he told me all about Beethoven and how he lost his hearing, which he learned in Kindergarten. The only thing I remember learning in Kindergarten is how to draw letters. And also to not rat out kids named Kevin who are trying to trick everyone (how did no one else realize how he'd made the paper smooth?), because they will punch you in the stomach.
So we spent about an hour and a half in Petco, looking at pets. At first it was a hermit crab, but realized they pinched. Then the rodent department (I tried to steer them towards a rat) but his mother was *not* going for the rodents and especially rats. Also, I kinda don't think their rottweiler and a rat would have become best friends. Okay, so fish. But fish are a bigger deal than you may first think with all this equipment and stuff for something you can't even pet. So...no new pets. Alas.
I ended up watching Gilmore Girls but not Veronica Mars tonight.
