Happy Hanukkah

My husband and AE were riding in the car the other day when father and daughter had the following exchange:

AE: Dad, when did we become Jewish?

DLS: What are you talking about?

AE: You know dad, we're Jewish. When did that happen?

DLS: We're not Jewish, where did you get that idea?

AE: You told me we were Jewish the other day. I told people
at school we were Jewish when we were talking about Hanukkah.

DLS: I told you we were German, not Jewish.

AE: Oh. Well they sound alike.

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already.
