All Marley Edition

I can assure you that Hayden has said notable and quotable things over the last month, but I forgot to write them down or otherwise memorialize them. So I present the first Marley-only blogpost.

We saw something Easter-related that was consistent with that very fun holiday (maybe an ad for Hop or a giant inflatable Easter bunny on somebody's lawn) and Marley must have wondered if we were going to be celebrating Easter.

So she asked me, "Daddy, are we Easterish?"

I don't think she was asking if our ancestors came from here.

Marley hates driving in our car and always asks to open the window. We let her, but only until we get on the highway and the fast speeds make it too windy and noisy. Marley therefore associates the highway with fast speeds.

So we were stuck in a traffic jam on the legendary highway known as the New Jersey Turnpike and were not moving at all when Marley asked "Are we on a low-way now?"

On another car trip, the girls' portable DVD player wasn't plugged in so we were trying to kill some time by playing quiz games. First the girls asked me questions about them (which I answered correctly a shockingly low percentage of the time) and then I asked them a few questions about me.

One of the latter questions was what was the name of the college I went to (Yale).

No answer.

So I offered a hint. It begins with the letter Y.

"Uranus!" Marley yelled out.

I think she's destined for Harvard. And I don't mean that as a compliment.
