epiphany!!

(epiphany is on the secret department list of terms. oooh. don't you feel fancy?)

so you know that part in hook where he gets confused and says "i just had an apostrophe!" and he means 'i just had an epiphany'? and remember how liz and i thought that was funny as children and started using apostrophe in place of epiphany? and now i can't stop and sound dumb?

today we were actually talking about apostrophes (funny, that was last week in my esl class...) and the example he gave was a poem to the moon. and it dawned on me, whoa!! i've been saying it right all these years. i regularly go to The Park by the U to talk to the moon. i have apostrophes every night!!! (except when he's being shy)

just thought i'd tell you.

whew, I'm glad you told us. I've been questioning your education these past few years. I was just waiting for you to say something like, "birfday" and then I was going to casually bring it up and say something to you...

ok, that was a low blow... Sorry, kev.

like how my sister's friend's friend was adamant that 'dogma' meant 'choice of words'? and jenny said, "i don't think so..." and they looked at her like she was dumb and muttered under their breath about going to the u, and she thanked her lucky stars she had.

ha! Go Jennie! Besides, she settled the "kitty" question too. I admire you both for that reason.
