I bought a new 27″ iMac yesterday. Cabol said it is my early Christmas present from her. Not the actual computer, but the fact that she didn’t kick me out of the house for buying it.

Anya gave me a present of her own. She was taking a bath this afternoon, and I had to step out into the kitchen for a minute to check on the beer on the stove. Soon, I hear, ‘Daddy! Daddy!’ I come back in to find her…holding her present up for me. This reminds me of the reason we do not usually take baths before potty time.
