As you all know, babies need tons and tons of candy. (What? Wait. Or maybe that’s milk…) So on Halloween, remember to be extra generous to all the trick or treating babies that knock on your door tonight. (Ahem, ahem…especially a baby dressed as a turtle…ahem, ahem, you know, like me. Te he he.) – Kiran

PUMPKIN11.JPGIt’s October. Know what that means? HALLOWEEN! And the ‘secret’ ingredient to having a spook-tacular Halloween starts with picking the perfect pumpkin. Here I am with my Dadi-ma during the long and arduous selection process. – Kiran

SWING1.JPGSwinging is all about commitment. If you see someone at the playground just barely swinging, it looks wrong. Swing and get fierce ‘big air’ or nothing at all I say. — Um, it also helps if your Mom can push you. (“Mom are you pushing?”) – Kiran

SWING2.JPG[Editor’s Note: You may have noticed in the last few days that recent posts have appeared, disappeared, were replaced and then reappeared on different dates. That would be because holding down the fort ‘solo mio’ for the month of October has taken its toll and apparently lead to chronic memory loss and a herniated ‘tired-gland’. The messy blogginess should soon be remedied by a RedBull IV inserted directly into my arm and a 16 oz margarita chaser – hay, hay, hay, no ice – to take the edge off….oh yeaaaaaaaa, much better….]

HOW TO AVOID ‘THE WRATH OF MOM’

BLAME1.JPGWhen Mom’s looking for the culprit who ‘lost’ the tv remote control, again, remember to: 1. Look innocent (see photo) and 2. Feign ignorance (C’est moi?) or 3. Blame Iraq.
