Jolee Labor Day Special (September, 1998)
For those of you on a Jolee withdrawal (especially those of you in Texas), here's a plethora of JPLC anecdotes:
'Tis ragweed season in the Northeast, and those of you who know me, know I sneeze more than the normal person. Jolee, always Miss Manners, was very conscientious last evening during a sneezing fit. Every time I sneezed, she would say "Ess you." or "Ess you, daddy." When Melanie remarked on how she blesses someone every time they sneeze, I attempted a fake "Ehhh-choooo!" Jolee said nothing. You can't pull anything over on her.
Jolee was pushing the stroller home from the grocery store yesterday. A stranger walked by and said, "You have license?" Jolee immediately shouted "Yeahhh!"
Moments later, Jolee became distressed when a leaf got stuck in the stroller wheels. I extricated the piece of foliage and Jolee immediately started lecturing it. "No, Feaf! No! Back! Feaf!" Imagine Jolee standing proud, one hand on hip, and one arm outstretched, holding off the brutal, threatening leaf on the sidewalk.
Jolee had a fun time Sunday at the laundromat playing with her sidewalk chalk.
On Saturday, Jolee had it rough. When Mommy shopped at Lord & Taylor, Jolee and I went up to the Main NY Public Library and looked at all the pree flowers and the big lions. We then headed behind the library to Bryant Park where Jolee grabbed a metal chair, climbed onto it, leaned back.....and fell through the back and headfirst onto the ground. Fortunately, the chair was positioned near the edge of the sidewalk, so she missed most of the concrete. Despite having a large jaw-breaker sized bump on her head, she was okay.
Jolee now says "Go 'Ankees" whenever she sees anything remotely resembling a sporting event: a one-inch picture in the newspaper, a baseball card display in the candy strore, tennis players or World Wrestling Federation participants on the TV as we change channels. Football players too. Although I have taught her to say "Go Packers!" it sounds more like "Go Goppers!"
Yesterday, we are proud to announce, Jolee ate her first bagel in over a year. Melanie and I were worried about her lack of interest in the food, but shenjoyed them yesterday and even seemed to like the lox! A nice Jewish girl indeed.
Anyway, that's all for now! Hopefully this will have satisifed the hunger of all of you starving for Jolee news.
