Have a good weekend filled with lots of dreams of pony parts and pieces stuffed in cans.

Love ya-

I could go into one of those "you know you're a Downing when your email ends like this" but I won't. It's too easy, even for me.

The idea came distincly to mind. Instead I went with "Force brother to return home and retrieve it for me". Of course, he was heading there naywhere for clothes for extended sojurn here in Mahwah but still.

haha. Your dad's emails beat my mom's SAT questions of the day fer shurr and I'm glad you get a free lunch out of the near spitting of yogurt. My lunch table in 8th grade spent all year trying to make me snort out my milk. They did not succeed. (secret sense of joy here) But wtf with you not having school and my town finally progressing enough to give us a half day?!

He's pretty good with the quick wit. I was thinking, ok, I was half asleep on the way to church adn free associating and somehow the highway brought me to the question of whether or not I've always been this sarcastic. because I remember distincly not speaking for the first 11 or so years of myself but from where did I go "reading all the time and having no friends" to "sarcastic and bitter"? Would I have become the only pessimist in the second grade if I hadn't read so much or was reading so much what turned me so pessimistic? What I mean is, and it's probably nothing that anyone answer, did books shelter from myself or did they give rise to qhat was lying latent inside and when I stopped being able to exist solely in books that this other side emerged?

haha. I don't think it was the reading. I read quite a bit and am still annoyingly perky, although I must admit to being a big TV junkie when I was little. Entire afternoons, y0. Now it's the computer for me.

That is a very deep and thoughtful paragraph to which I can have no concrete answer. Does that mean the undereducated (though not because their teachers did not try) children at school have "other sides" lying dormant? Perhaps it is a "smart" side?
