Iris learned to read. She practices on the spines of cookbooks during dinner. Recent observations:
“If you want to know how to cook everything, just read that yellow book.”
“That book is called How to Eat, but everybody knows how to eat.”

Tag – you’re it! Visit my blog for the questions.
The rules:
Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
Hey, Dana, thanks! But I have to decline: the urge to procrastinate is strong, but for the next week I’m down in the bunker. Oh, I will answer the billionaire question, though:
I’m extremely skilled at not making a billion dollars. One of my most likable traits.
Oh, I think I have that yellow book — would it be Mark Bittman.
That is amazing! She’s not even 5 yet, is she? I do realize she has good reading genes, of course…
I thought I was a genius when I was Iris’ age because I identified the “PUSH” word on garbage cans at McDonald’s as meaning “GARBAGE.”
Which, come to think of it, is pretty much what Mickey D’s is.
