Dear Cousin In Chicago-

I love you. I really do. You have the cutest family ever. However, it is UNACCEPTABLE to call me at 9 am eastern-standard time to tell me what your adorable 1 year old daughter just did. Yes. Shes a year old. Yes, "ball" and "book-KAH" is a normal part of her developing dialect.

But, you do realize that you called me at 8:00 your time, right? Call me back at like, 1:00pm.

You crazy-
cj

ps: im totally excited about her toddler birthday on sunday!!!! (i really am!...i need a life.)
