Do You Think It Will Ever End?

Man, Super Giant Killer was just that today. We got onto the mall mid-morning and went to the Smithsonian/American History (she and I) while YHWH and The Self went to Holocaust. We first went to the first ladies exhibit and SGK read every plaque and looked at every inaugural gown. She kept graviating to Mamie Eisenhower for whatever reason. Then we went to the Americans at War exhibit and she spent 2.5 hours in there looking at everything and asking questions. When we came out of the Civil War section she said, "Why do Americans win every war?" and I just said they don't always. She was silent awhile and then in the middle of WWI she goes, "I hope we win Iraq...do you think it will ever end?" Later when we got to WWII she soid, "Why was Hitler so greedy. He could've just kept France. He was way off the charts!" YHWH joined us for Natural History and she did the same thing; looked at the exhibits for hours. She was in the gems section for a whole hour. Finally, YHWH said, "Are you getting bored SGK? Do you want to go over to the art museum?"SGK scoffs and says, "Gaw! I'm not as obsessed with art as you are, mom!" We closed that one down. She spent 6.5 hours in both museums and was begging for more when they closed. Scary.

Had some fine pizza tonight from Armand's deepdish. Really good stuff. By the way I'm using a MAC to do this, so I'm sorry about all the weird formatting and typos. It's really hard yo use and the s sticks. But who's complaining.
