- Tim continues to be disturbed by my (and my sisters') "insistence" on using our toes for "unnatural" purposes. The other day the baby rolled under our couch. I was sitting down, and since she was fairly close to my feet, I naturally used them to pull her out from under the couch. Tim then relayed a story about a dinner party we were at last week. My cardigan had apparently dropped from my lap to the floor. My four-year-old nephew Calvin was sitting close to it, so Tim asked him to hand it to him. Calvin said, "Sure!" He then carefully took off his shoe and corresponding sock, and picked up and handed Tim the cardigan with his toes. I'm so proud.
- We went to a catholic wedding Saturday afternoon. I'm a little embarrassed that it's the first time I've been to a catholic mass. It is harder to sleep during mass because there is a lot of standing up, sitting down, kneeling down, waving of hands, and singing to and/or with the priest. Good time had by all, and the bride was stunning, of course. (Tim tells me that he's never been to such a mass, and he was raised catholic.)
- I was impaled by a baby rattle this week, and have suffered moderate to severe bruising and humiliation. In the future, I'm going to watch where I sit.

Some important considerations for a Monday morning

Since my toes are as long as my fingers, I utilize my toes for tasks all the time. I can even play the piano with my toes. Tim should follow our example because toes are a sad thing to waste. They can be very useful.
I'm also a toe utilizer. I mean just because I have hands doesn't mean I can't at least try to be like those people who paint masterpieces, etc. with their toes because they don't have hands!
I was raised as staunch Catholic too (private school and the works) - and everything you say seems in line with my mass experience save the waiving of the hands part: Not familiar with that little ditty. Maybe it was added on as part of the wedding exclusively? In any event - sounds like a fun wedding!
And using your toes is just a talent Tim is going to have to learn. I'm sure the reason he gives you such a hard time about it is because he wants that dexterity too! ;)
Brian and I attended mass once with a lady we are friends with. There was a lot of sitting, standing, and kneeling as well. Didn't sleep a wink.
Baby rattles and toys in general are a great danger to society.
See Cami's most recent post.
That's it. I'm going to write Tim a letter concerning the importance of the other digits. With m'feet, 'course.
Grandpa Dave: IU WEROTE GTHIS WITH MYT TOIES.
Hilarious!! Esp the part about taking a nap during Catholic Mass. I have attended a few over the years, esp. in high school, and can definitely attest to the fact that it is VERY hard to take a much needed nap :)
