Things I’ve learned from Max, age 8, since he got here 11 minutes ago

I am babysitting Max today. Jaycie and Sister #2 have to go on some hike at Camp Singing Hills and Stink has class. So it’s just me and Max. Which is always, always, always interesting. So far I have learned:

Max is learning cursive in school
There are all-new super secret Webkins coming out soon
However, Max cannot tell me about them because they are secret
Max can tell that I really, really want to know about the all-new super secret Webkins
Cookies (pictured above — taken a few days ago) forgot to put his clothes on today
Max thinks we should go to Target to get those Webkinz trading cards I owe him (we bet on the Spanish word for penguin, he was right), because one should always pay off their debts

The only thing the Slate piece on overused catchphrases is missing is how we really, really need to ditch douche. [+]

The best line I've read all damn day: "you can see from these photos that i was dressing like the secretary of the indigo girl's fan club, but not living the part." [+]

Joe Henry in the LA Times on Music's Literary Side. It's really good until he mentions Alice Munro (barf). [+]

You should go listen to this NPR interview with Liz Phair on the 15th Anniversary of Exile in Guyville. Go listen, now. Seriously. Go. She talks about the whole Exile on Mainstreet/Guyville thing. It's fascinating. [+]

Could The Deets be any cuter? No, no he couldn't be. [+]
