After going to the opened back door at 8:00am and belting out, “JASON! JASON!” Livia settled in my lap this morning while I read the newspaper. On the front page, she finally located our neighbors.

“Jason!” she said, and pointed to a small pic of Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister of Iraq. Mmm, y-e-a-h.

“Nae Nae?” she questioned, while pointing at Cindy Lange-Kubik’s photo near the bottom of the page. I found myself saying, That kind of looks like Renae; and then upon closer examination, Uh, she doesn’t look like Renae at all, but okay…

Touching the colored picture of Marg Helgenberger, native Nebraskan and a star of the tv program CSI, I asked Liv, “Who’s this?”

“Mama.”

What a sharp, observant two year old I have. What can I say? It’s good to be a celebrity.
