White House Trend Report

Also trending high right now:
1.  Talking about farting.  It's true, we regret to say.  It's tapered off a bit, but all of a sudden, Joe's seemingly favorite thing to say was: "Who farted?"  (Apparently the gang at school hasn't yet heard "If you smelt it, you dealt it.")
2. Asking "Are we on the highway?" incessantly, while we are YES!  ON THE HIGHWAY!  And YES!  STILL ON THE HIGHWAY!  And YUP!!!  STILL.  ON.  THE.  HIGHWAY!!!--!!!!!
3.  The Kidz Country version of Alan Jackson's Little Bitty (It's alright to be little bitty; a little hometown or a big old city; might as well share, might as well smile; life goes on for a little bitty while.)  Little Bitty has no peer at the moment.
4.  Talking about heaven: Where is it?  How do you get there?  Why is it above us?  And you can't come back?  And it's way far away?

The day before the Fourth, we were riding along in the car and Joe said, "Maybe Raleigh?  We drove him to a skyscraper and then a cloud went by and he jumped on."  If there's any dog that could do that, Fans, it was our Ribby.  (And, he could fart like no other dog, except maybe Berenice.)
