The scene: Chance, Keen and I are all camped in the living
room, still waking up for the day. Chance is mesmerized by Mickey
Mouse Clubhouse
(and so, apparently, is Keen).

Keen: “Shut up, Daisy!” 

Me, looking up from whatever I’m reading: “Um… a little angry there, honey?”

Keen: “That Daisy is
a bitch!” 

Me, considering the TV thoughtfully: “Hmmm, I would have called
her ‘high maintenance’ more than a bitch.”

Keen: “No, she’s a
bitch! I feel sorry for Donald.” 

Me: “She is a little bossy.”

Keen: “Yeah!”

Me: “But… if you
consider her high maintenance I’d think you’d have to call Minnie high
maintenance, too. Look, they’re both
wearing the fancy heels, high-end dresses, have manicured nails… hey, how does
a duck get a manicure?”

Keen: “Minnie is
wearing gloves.”

Me: “Whatever. Anyway, my point being, I think there is more
than one high-maintenance chick in that clubhouse.”Daisy_duck_2

Keen: “No way, Minnie
doesn’t have the snooty expression that Daisy does. You can just tell… Daisy is a bitch.”

It’s SO sad when actors go bad; all that life of privilege
and
rampant cosmetic surgery. Let’s hope
Daisy checks into rehab soon. 

(Yet another fine example of the stirring intellectual
debates that run rampant in our household.) – the weirdgirl
