Board books and soap
Last night at dinner Henry was thumbing through his "My 1st Colors Board Book".
Dave: We should do a whole line of "My 2nd..." board books. No one's thought of that yet.
me: Like what, "This is the color "puce"?"

I bought Softsoap handsoap in "Pure Cashmere", partly because they were out of SpongeBob Squarepants foaming handwash, and partly because it was the only soap on the shelf that wasn't antibacterial. It smells delicious, like coconuts and beaches and other yummy things. It smells so good that when I was at the store on Tuesday, I noticed they were selling a bodywash in the same scent. So I bought some because I want to smell like the handsoap ALL THE TIME. The first few minutes I used it I was in heaven, but as the minutes passed, so did the smell of coconut. The new scent was somehow familiar. I pondered as I lathered until suddenly it hit me: playdoh. Today, it was the same thing: great first few minutes, followed by the scent of playdoh. I really like the stuff, and the first few minutes are pretty great, but is it worth running the risk of being attacked by a band of rabid pre-schoolers?
