kid spying

I’ve just spent the last 10 minutes or so surreptitiously watching my youngest son, Remy, acting out the complete plot of Weird Al’s “Stuck in the Drive-Thru.”

When Boo was younger, he used to wear pajama bottoms on his head and dance around his room. I’d watch him, reflected in the glass of the attic door, so he wouldn’t see me.

They don’t do this kind of stuff if they know you’re watching.

Well, M and L will tell you that I used to pantomime the complete works of Elton John's "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player" on my piano at home, back in the day. With everyone watching.

Maybe I'm just raising a couple of frustrated actors.

Yay! M's not vexed by the drunken cryptogram!

Well, I do tend to keep things up my sleeve, so who knows what dust I'll be blowing in the future.
