blurbs

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.
