Take tonight, for example. We’re watching the end of the Buckeyes Rose Bowl victory and playing with Play-Doh, when Jack yells, top of his lungs, “GO BUCKEYES! LOOK AT MY MEATBALL!” which he had just rolled himself. It was a pretty good meatball, by the way.

We also had to christen the newest Montgomery Inn, right here in our own backyard in Dublin.

I feel I need to explain myself. Alas, no. I choose to act, not to speak. The time for speaking is past, and I chose not to. We begin with winter.

Brother: MOOPIE-DOG!!! MOOOOPIE-DOG!!!!
Dad: Yes, that’s Snoopy Dog. So silly, isn’t he?
Sister: Yeah, so silly.
Brother: MOOOPIE!!
Dad: What do you think of that Lucy, huh?
Sister: (Dismissively) That’s not Lucy, Dad. Her name is Peppermint Patty (rolls eyes).
Brother: MOOPIEDOG!!
Dad: Ah, right, of course. Patty. Kinda overbearing, isn’t she?
Sister: Yeah.

PAUSE

Sister: Hey Dad, is Peppermint Patty a boy or a girl?
Dad: Uuuuum, she’s a girl. I think. Yes, yes, a girl.
Sister: Oh. PAUSE… Huh.
Brother: Moopie.
