I Like Keeping Up on All the New Celebrity Babies...

the guy who hands me my free subway morning paper at the subway station every morning thinks i'm naught but a child.


oh what will that kim jong il do next?

i bring forth evidence, your honors.

exhibit A: he did peek-a-boo with me the first morning i saw him after we had established we have a mutual platform of rapport and banter between us. he hid his face behind the morning paper and crowed "guess who?" like only a new father could. i don't know his name so i said, "it's you!" and he chuckled mightily and said "yes! it's me!" his smile indicated his pockets were probably full of sun-sweetened lollipops and yo-yos and other scampy delights.

exhibit B: this morning he asked me point-blank where i work. i told him i do editorial work. and he said, "but you look like a little kid!" then i shrugged and did a little jig for him.

to illuminate the picture further, he looks like an african-american einstein, a wild shock of salt and pepper hair and a bigger smile. no one else should be allowed to hand out the news.

in other news, blob status is out of control. i strive to find the most attractive man in a room and make horrifyingly grotesque faces at him as if to say "sticks and stones may break my bones, but your beautiful face doesn't intimidate me onnnnnne bit."

Playing and enjoying peek-a-boo is the first sign that a baby has a great sense of humor. You should pat yourself on the back.
