no no no, i DID read the ramona books growing up! i *loved* beverly cleary. i just didn’t read the one called ramona quimby, since it came out when i was in college. (okay, so maybe i’m not *that* old, but it was when i was past the ramona reading stage and onto solzhenitsyn….) and i didn’t remember ramona’s last name, if it’d been mentioned in the other books. (that’s just because of all of the drugs.)

I can’t believe you missed Ramona growing up!!! I read those books a million times. And Beezus, her sister. Just had to type her name. And I also wonder if the uncircumsized doll has anything to do with her little friend she was with today? Hmmm…

Ok, so reading the other comments, I felt like I might have missed something. Did you remove the Ramona Quimby reference? Or am losing my mind?

okay, so i had no idea who ramona quimby was… but i googled her and she *does* look like a brunette kate! (http://tinyurl.com/mnp6wf). and i thought i’d read everything by beverly cleary. alas, she apparently kept writing after i outgrew her books.

One of my fave kid quotes: “Pee comes out of my penis, and poop comes out of my poonus.”
And in our house, for quite some time, it was pronounced “pee-NUSS.” So Kate’s not that far off!

I’m giggling uncontrollably, alone at home, with a drink in my hand (don’t tell the South Beach police)… I don’t know if it’s pee-NOOS, Ramona Quimby hair, or Mark laughing at Paige’s, ummmm, talent. Well, at least I’m sure the smile she shot was really cute. And maybe THAT’s why I’m laughing.
