Milestone

Okay, first of all, based on my scientific survey, I have determined that "plonk" is not a term that most Americans use to describe cheap wine -- though it does appear to be known, and used, in other countries, primarily the UK. I used it here last month, and got blank stares. And this is California -- wine country!

So I hereby apologize for being out of touch with colloquial American terms, and out of respect for my native tongue I will henceforth refer to cheap wine only as "two-buck Chuck."

Now, on to today`s post. Here is an actual weekend conversation with Little Son:

Little Son: "Mama? I`m not your little baby monkey anymore!"*
*(my pet name for him)

Me: "Oh. You`re not?"

Little Son: "No! I`m a burping, farting monkey!"

And with that, his babyhood officially ended, and his boyhood has begun.

Sigh....
