“You know what? I have a destiny!”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah! My destiny is to do art! And you know what?”

Zoey is in the living room testing out my speakers which didn’t work earlier. Audioslave and Show Me How To Live was the testing song of choice. Imagine rock music coming out of tiny speakers.

Look at those teeth!
Yeah! Keegan won.
I just want to point out how much I love it that Zoey calls a sippy cup a zippy cup. I mean, come on—who wouldn’t want to drink from a zippy cup?!
