dave and zoya

People with kids can be pretty annoying and/or dull because they are so monomaniacal about their offspring. It is perfectly natural for people with kids to talk a lot about them since that is pretty much all they are doing all day long (if i wrote footnotes for tax returns all day long I bet I would talk about them all day long too). It is also pretty natural for anyone who doesn't share half the DNA with those kids to be pretty bored by the parents. Fortunately, there are people in this world who are much less selfish than I am and actually share almost as much fascination with our cub as we do, so having Uncle Dave and Auntie Zoya visit was great. They are awesome human beings and Schuyler loved seeing them to the point of asking for them first thing in the morning and being royally pissed off when they were unavailable.
