Bad luck to have a woman on board, too. Even a miniature one.

Seven year olds are not good at challenges and as such The Midget shall no longer be given rental snowboards and boots. Watching a kid cry because they're too lazy or tired or ridiculous to put their own bindings on is about as fun as a root canal. Not up to the challenge? No problem, more than happy to leave you at home or rent you a pair of skis... next season. We talked to one of the snowboard teachers and realized that The Midget needs some serious stamina training over the next few months. Swim lessons? Check. She seems to like that. Dance lessons? Check. You don't have to be that athletict to have fun running around like a jackass. Gymnastics? Personally, I don't see it happening but hey, I'll happily be proven wrong. Either way this kid needs to stop watching TV and sitting on her ass complaining. Seven is a perfectly good time to start getting in some semblance of shape.

The basic problem is that The Midget is not really into "challenges." If it's hard she pretty much doesn't want to do it or she cries until someone does it for her. She doesn't have that general attitude of trying to overcome things so much as she wants it all to be easy. Interesting as she's not old enough to have done enough to have decided that that's how it should be. I guess some people are genetically lazy or predisposed to being spoiled. I just don't know but it is bizarre to watch.

On a more interesting note: My pal Lisa sent me something very funny from the maker of "Drinking out of cups." Behold the genius of Dan Deacon!

Peace out, bitches!
