Nighttime Antics

 Fans, your reporters, editors, and photographers all bring you this post from their room where they are reading while listening to one Clara Jane Birdie blow away--at 9:39pm mind you--on the noisemaker she got at her friend Josie's My Little Pony-themed party yesterday. Moments ago, Julie was called in there whereupon Clara blew out the noisemaker and then said, "I'm not tired," before blowing it out again. Julie managed to keep a straight face and say, "Well, I am," and make it out of there before her face crumpled in laughter.

In other news, about an hour prior, while your reporters were watching the always-uplifting Mad Men, Our Hero appeared downstairs to announce that he had finished Gooseberry Park. Gooseberry Park is a long-ish chapter book so this was rather a big deal. It wasn't long before Joe spotted the pile of pastel foil squares next to Julie and broke his stream-of-conscious style narration to say, "And I see you've been eating Easter* candy!" He asked if he might have one, quickly adding that he'd not tell Clara. Stinker. It takes on to know one, Fans, and all of us here at the Casa Blanca know one. (Our Hero has been promised two pieces of candy tomorrow.) 

*Report forthcoming.
