IPHONE

I got an IPHONE yesterday...it all hinged on me knowing the name of Jeff's first childhood pet since that was the security question on our account.  When the guy asked me the question I told him how I never use 'first childhood pet' as one of my questions because it's either Boo or Katy or Georgie Girl and I can't even remember.  Then I realized it must be Jeff's and started guessing....the guy had the answer right in front of him and was "No..that' not it.  No.  No.  No.  Oh, close.  No. No. "  Eventually I called Zach and after all the drama I realized that Jeff had written down on our last phone bill this security question answer and it was such a gibberish word that I thought it was just scribbled down letters from him seeing if a pen worked or something.  I won't reveal the name but it sounds like his parents let him name the pet at age 8 months. 

And now I have the phone and I let Leo play a very educational and simple game on the way to the Y and he flipped out and wouldn't let it go.  And I had to tell everyone what was going on and all the hippies of that school--the teachers and the parents were like "oh...yeah--the IPHONE...mistake".    They added how they had never seen Leo so upset.  

I felt guilty and then the mean teacher..Teacher Debbie came up to me and said "can I ask you a question and I promise you I never do this..."  I was absolutely sure she was going to ask me "do you have anyone guiding you as a parent AT ALL?"  But instead she asked if I was an actress because she recognized me.   So I let the other teacher comfort Leo from the IPHONE trauma and I went thru my resume to see what TV show Teacher Debbie must know me from.  Needless to say she's my favorite now.


For those of you who don't know...those of you who's name doesn't end with Weedman-my niece Emma is going to come with me to Portland to be my high end nanny in training with Leo.  Everyone is thrilled.  Leo at least is.  Emma has been beloved to him for a long time.  And I got a suite at the hotel so I don't have to wake up with Emma starring at me or hear about how I snored all night.
