Last night, I got a phone call from Amelia while I was doing laundry. She was calling to tell me something very important: “I got into Harvard! So you can come and visit me in Boston next year!” Hell yeah, I will! I congratulated her profusely, and when we hung up, I did what any proud parent would do. I called my mother to interrupt her dinner with friends to tell her. And then I texted Jordana because she was working. And then I tweeted it. Rick told me that he was having a hard time not shouting it from the streets, and I said “I basically did. I tweeted.” And now I’m blogging it because it hasn’t gotten old yet, this telling people how phenomenal my kid is, and because I don’t want to yell it on Facebook until she does.

Hey, world? She’s pretty fucking awesome.
