My daughter Kirsten will be 9 tomorrow. She is serious-blond with green eyes and she likes to jazz-dance and play the piano and sing. She has her own Mac. She's a killer, I'm gonna be in deep squat in about 5 years.

When she was little, she butchered words, as kids will. But she had some really good ones. She liked Dracula (don't know why, she never got scared) but she called him "Draclea". She dropped something once and said she did it "accimentally" (I still use that one). Once she saw something funny and said it was as "funny as a monkey in a barrel".

But the funniest thing she ever did (that I saw) was on her 3rd birthday. She was not allowed to have sugar in any form except on very special occasions. (I had the video camera out and was shooting, so I have this forever). She wandered away from the festivities and found the CHOCOLATE CAKE in the kitchen, and, having never seen such a thing before, but assuming that it was a treat and it was for her, reached up to counter-level with her tiny finger to "test" it.

She looked over at me to see if I was gonna try and stop her, and then she swiped the frosting with her finger and put it in her mouth. A moment passed, and she looked at me again. Then she took another finger's worth. And then another. And then another. And another.

Then she looked at the camera and said, "Dad! Sugar is good! It makes my stomach happy!
