Ten random things: June 9

Ten things I talked about with my nieces and nephews yesterday:

1. Latin
2. The presidency of John Tyler
3. Kindergarten teachers
4. The relative merits of the four Alien movies
5. Doctor Who
6. Abraham Lincoln
7. Whether we could drive to Gettyburg with the top down
8. The Civil War in Loudoun County
9. Fractions
10. Elmo

Went up to Pennsylvania yesterday for my niece Molly's second birthday party. Molly is currently obsessed with Elmo, so the party was pretty much all Elmo all the time. Elmo plates, an Elmo pinata, an Elmo cake, and about 80% of the gifts were in some way Elmo-related. Good times!
