Last night I read to my son Jordan from my book coming out in 2011.  I love to hear him laugh at the characters I created.  He rates my book as one of his favorites.  "Mom, that was better than THE KID WHO RAN FOR PRESIDENT.  But just barely."  The funny thing is he's really into nonfiction, so he thinks I should write THE REAL WATER FIGHT PROFESSIONAL and make it a biography about him.

Jordan might become an author himself someday.  As it is, he's a walking thesaurus.  I showed him a baby picture from when I was three months old and frowning.  This was his response: "You look evil.  You look ominous.  You look sinister."  Yeah, that was me--a sinister baby.
