blurbs

[topaz]

Morgan's book project is to design a book jacket for one of the books on their reading list, including cover illustration, author bio, summary, and reviewer blurbs.  Tonight he was writing the blurbs.

Morgan: How do you spell "Hillary?"
Dad: H-I-L-L-A-R-Y.
Morgan: How do you spell "Clinton?"
Dad: <looks at him>
Morgan: What?
Dad: C-L-I-N-T-O-N.
Morgan: Okay, thanks.  Do you want to see what I'm--- actually, no, maybe it'll be better if you're not expecting it.
Dad: Right, good thinking.

The blurbs on the Morgan edition of A Wrinkle In Time:

"The coolest thing since electing was invented." --Hillary Clinton
"I felt more excited when I read this book than when I invented the lightbulb." --Thomas Edison
"This book was an EXPLOSION!" --The Big Boom Book Business
"This book was gripping." --Spiderman
"This book was as good as my candy." --Willy Wonka

As I used to tell my parents, it's either nature or nurture, and either way you're on the hook ;)

For better or for worse, you're on the hook. (Which is what I told my mother in response to certain good natured criticisms.)

A project result to be proud of.

Dude, if I ever write anything, make sure I get a blurb from him. Preferably more than one :-)

I'm beginning to adore that kid. I usually only say that about roozle and sunspiral's youngest, G. But if there's any truth to the Mommy's Curse, you guys are totally in for it.
