things i learned over the weekend

• the amount of sleep harry needs (or doesn't need) and his energy levels are completely disproportionate
• federal prison is better than a state-run correctional facilities (or so says the security guard at target)
• when your child has a birthday on a monday and her restaurant of choice is closed on mondays, you can still get the entire dining room to sing happy birthday to her two months later. all you have to do is just tell the waitress it's your daughter's birthday and she has to take your word for it because you are the mother and you said so.
• one giggle is enough to give kids hiccups for 15 minutes
• it takes a full 24 hours to feel the effects of springing forward for daylight savings time
