THE BRUTE

I don't know that I have expressed just how much like Tony our youngest Adrienne (Mo) is. Well, she is.

To illustrate my point let me tell you a little story about Mo and the baby doll.

For Christmas, Mo got a baby doll that crawls. This baby was in her toy basket. When you got near the basket, the baby doll would start cooing and moving. I asked her to bring me the baby so I could shut it off.

Every time she got near the baby it would talk and move and she would get scared. Finally I said, "You're big and strong, get the baby." With that, she picked up her mallet (used to play whack-a-mole) and stood over the poor baby doll about to beat the doll to death.

I said "Nooo! Be nice to the baby." She put the mallet down, stuck out her lip and marched to the corner as if by not letting her beat the doll with a mallet I had seriously doused all her joy.

It's going to be an interesting ride....
