Today Madalynn brought home her 2007-2008 school pictures and begged us to buy them. Now, I’m pretty much inclined to buy all of that crap for my kids—the pictures, the t-shirts, the yearbooks—because I’ve learned the value of fitting in with your peers. Something I was never very good at when I was young.
When I looked at the prices on the envelope I was shocked. I’m not going to tell you how much it was—largely because I can’t remember as I’ve blocked out those traumatic few moments—but you can believe me when I tell you it was a lot.

Obviously there's a trend here. You might say that I'm not a big fan of the words "intellectual property".
Regardless, here, for your viewing pleasure, is my beautiful Maddie:
