Why Mommy is a Democrat

There were gifts of course. Ed and Beth supplied the best ones. In a moment of pure cruelty, they gave her both <a href="http://jellybelly.com/Cultures/en-US/Shop/Category?CS_Catalog=B2C&CS_Category=JBz">a box of assorted chocolate jelly beans</a> and <a href="http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2005/07/06/harry-potter-bertie-botts-beans/">a box of Harry Potter every flavor jelly beans</a> featuring yummy flavors like dirt and earwax. We passed them around like a game of Russian roulette. Somehow I was always too busy with a baby to take my turn.

Ed and Beth's other big hit gift was this book for Dash, <i>Why Mommy is a Democrat</i>
