Have I mentioned how much I’m looking forward to Firefox 3 and its improved memory handling?

Slack’s recent posting about something funny his son did reminded me of a story my wife told me that I wanted to get down, so I wouldn’t forget.

When Sarah was much, much younger and learning her words, her mommy and she were reading a book on animals and the different noises they make. Gail would read the page, which went something along the lines of “See the cow? The cow says…” and Sarah would fill in the sound. She was doing a great job of supplying the “moos” and “meows” and “oinks” where needed. The Gail got to a page and read “See the gold fish? The gold fish says…”

And Sarah started to cry, because she didn’t know the sound. But she made an effort. Through big tears and half sobs she said “bloop?”, and then cried even harder.

I laughed so hard when Gail told me that…is that wrong of me?

Well - that went swimmingly.
