The Highlight of My Life:
< >Discovering the light switch. Really, it's a very amusing and amazing technological thing. You just knock it with your finger or your hand and POOF! the light goes on and off. It fascinates me. Really.

Things I Find Strange:
< >The Chia-Pet. Where you sprinkle seeds on the little clay pot and water it every day until foliage begins to grow. It's very odd. The Chia-Heads are worse, because they look like clowns with big, green afros.
< >George W. Bush. Do you think he understands himself when he talks? I certainly don't.
