Rubix cube

We did it. We did it. We really, really did it. Well, to tell the truth Kate did it. She worked out -- with the help of the internet -- how to do the Rubix cube. And as is so often true, it was peer pressure that fueled her interest in "winning." If a kid at school could do it, then she thought she could do it, too.

That was her triumph. My triumph was that she ate two helpings of quiche for dinnerlast night and never knew that it contained eggs. My life is far more simple than hers.
