Brie vs Debris
We had spaghetti for dinner this evening, using up the last of our holiday cheese on the French bread. As the 10-year-old grabbed his piece, the 7-year-old authoritatively said, "The cheese on it is debris."

(Untitled)
Walking back to the hotel today from an afternoon show at Radio City Music Hall, the 6-year-old decided that he needed a New York name for the duration of our stay.
We've decided on "Carmine".
