P would say she gets it from me

Things G is currently obsessed with:

* Marilyn Monroe, and specifically Marilyn's famous rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," which she has watched approximately 20225058 times on YouTube.

* Whether I can make an exact replica of Marilyn's pink strapless evening gown for her to wear at Halloween. (Short answer: No.)

* The title track from Phantom of the Opera.

* Getting a golden retriever puppy and naming it Penny Olivia Ophelia Pauline Stephanie Isabella Elizabeth, so its initials will spell POOPSIE.

Right now she's pissed off at me because I made her stop watching a 35-year-old documentary about the making of Young Frankenstein to do her homework. Life at our house is very strange.
