The Harmelings

With Jack’s undying obsession with NBA Basketball, he has taken to reading the sports page every morning while eating breakfast. Some mornings, the DJ catches an early train downtown… and ohhhh how hell breaks loose in our house. Jack will go downstairs and discover the newspaper is gone, and so is daddy. He will start crying, pick up the phone, call daddy, and pretty much yell at him for taking his sports page.Well, we all know the DJ is a smart man, and thus the perfect solution: Photo copies. The DJ has to copy all NBA related pages of the sports section before leaving. And then there is peace.

I recently heard mention of teaching Jack to read ESPN.com. I don’t think I’m up for that yet. I cant imagine starting the morning troubleshooting internet access issues for my 5 year old.
