as the son of two teachers and the brother of another, i have an eternal respect for people who dedicate their lives to the education of others...
and as a person who is a grammar nerd, a stickler for proper usage and definition, who also happens to be a writer by trade, i have that same type of respect for the english language...
and as a homeowner who did hours of research in order to ascertain that he and his wife were buying a home zoned for what is considered by many to be finest public elementary school in the san fernando valley...
i was kind of bummed today when mrs b and i took the boys to their kindergarten orientation and the principal began his speech by happily exclaiming:
"parents, you know. this age, the age your children are at right now is just the
funnest
age there is."
"funnest"
at the risk of sounding like a snob, let me just say
"grrrrr."
and now to counter balance any curmudgeoness, please allow me to present the still unnicknamed bb in a piece he calls "yammering":
notice how the griping stops immediately when the food heads for the in-hole. like father like son.

Okay, I have to leave another comment. My above comment was tongue in cheek, I was kidding!!! However, some did not get the joke and I have had 2 people email me about coca-cola in a baby bottle and how this is not a good thing.
Yeah, I am aware and NO my children have never had anything but milk in a bottle.
Geesh
