Today's Agenda
My son announces we are going sightseeing today. More specifically we are going to the Smithsonian for natural history. I'm glad it's not the space branch of the smithsonian.

Is It for a Boy or Girl?
My grandchildren Ana and Robert are watching SpongeBob SquarePants. The commercials came on for toys. They started arguing over which toys were for boys and/or girls.
