Omar Little/Genghis Khan

I was thinking about taking a meta moment of silence to commemorate the last episode of The Wire, watched here last night at Casa De MetaMegan. But I think we can all agree that there have been many, many moments of blog silence since we started watching The Wire 3 months ago. It's hard work getting through 5 seasons of a television show in just 3 months. Hard, but rewarding work. Sigh.

Back to blogging, working, getting to bed before midnight and maybe I'll even get those thank you notes in the mail soon!

In other news, I am way behind on all the precious things Jack has been saying and doing. We went to see the Genghis Khan exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science the week after Christmas. There was a 60 second (or so) movie reenactment of the life of Genghis Khan, and Jack was very interested in the crying baby at the beginning. He watched it several (20) times. Days later, we were in the car amongst the museum ephemera and Jack recognized the hat we made at the end of the exhibit. He said,

"Baby crying, grew up: Genghis Khan."
Laughter ensued.
"Baby crying, grew up Genghis Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaan."
Laughter.
"Baby crying, grew up Genghis Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaan."
Laughter.
"Baby crying, grew up Genghis Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaan."
Sighing.
"Baby crying, grew up Genghis Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaan."
Yes, he sure did Jack.
"Baby crying, grew up Jason Khaaaaaaan."
No, Genghis.
"Jason Khaaaaaan."
Genghis.
"Baby crying, grew up Genghis Faaaaaaaaaaaawwwn."
Ugh.

We got home eventually, but it was the longest conversation I've ever had with a two year old about a 13th century warrior/statesmen.

time to let him watch 'night at the museum'. "So, what's with all the ripping?"
