three random things about the BG
1. While we were at the beach, the BG got a temporary glow-in-the-dark tattoo, about two inches in diameter, on her thigh. A week later, it’s faded to a smudgy black patch with a faint yellow cast -- which is to say, it looks an awful lot like a big bruise.
Last night as she was getting into her jammies, RM said with some alarm, “What happened there?”, pointing at the patch on her leg. I hastily explained that it was the remains of her fake tattoo.
The BG agreed, “Yeah, that’s what I told them at school.”
2. At the pool on the 4th, a man who was the spitting image of Dan Savage went out of his way to tell me, in reference to the BG, “She’s beautiful!”
So I got home and googled, and Dan Savage was in DC a few days before - June 29 - which makes me think it might’ve actually been him at the pool. (Also, he’s an adoptive parent himself, and it’s not uncommon for APs to make some sort of overture when they encounter one another.)
3. The BG has started saying “Duh!” She has the intonation right, but she hasn’t -quite- mastered when to apply it. The other day the moon was visible in the morning, and she said, “Hey, I can see the moon! [pause] Duh!”
