Today, the blinding coolness of two small blue house dwellers completely intimidated the other shoppers at our local Albertsons. No one was prepared to meet such hipsters in a shopping cart, and everybody squirmed and secretly wished they'd worn something a bit spiffier.
SADS sufferers, take note: trying sunglasses on babies at Albertsons when there is no sun to be had, indoors or out, is just the thing to brighten your mood on a grey Seattle day. Especially with a baby that knows instinctively how to strike a pose (and a funny round-faced sweetie, who doesn't).
Saulchik is definitely the lead singer in this band, and Hannah is the bass player, or maybe the drummer chick who never makes eye contact with the crowd, but is adored nonetheless. (The real Hannah makes intense, prolonged, and very sparkly eye contact--but if we are going to be a hip band, we have to uphold tradition.) As for the others....Ezra we'll sell to the circus so he can express his talents there as lead monkey. Naomi will be a performance artist, or make strange installations, like that guy who put orange sheets all over Central Park. Jacob will dwell in the tents of Torah.* Mommy will log off and resume her extremely fascinating and historic existence in the halls of... um....in the laundry room. As for Daddy, he's made quite a few waves already, and Confucius say: Daddy will have big success and nice fortune soon. * 4/30/08 update: Yasha! He no dwell in no tents of no Torah! He's taking over from Hannah as the drummer (she can be bass) - it's all he does all day! Bangs blocks on our metal folding chairs, bangs them and bangs them, as loudly as possible, and smiles (quietly - he's my quiet one)---but oh, what a racket!
