don’t tell elli

The Dashiell house came down with the plague last night. Food poisoning as far as I can tell. No sleep. No fluids. Bad news.

The point of grace in the whole ordeal was that Elli didn’t get sick. As bad as things were, that would have made it ten times worse.

So we set a record for TV watching yesterday. Because mommy and daddy had to take turns passing out in the morning before daddy sucked it up and went to work on one hour of sleep and 15 net calories over the course of 14 hours.

Of course, Elli watched a lot of Elmo throughout the day. She thinks he’s real, so I’m counting on you to not tell her what I’m about to reveal to you.

Elmo’s black.

Not just black, but a deep-voiced black man. Who knew? Not me. But this video is very good and will change my view of Elmo forever.

  1. That is CRAZY! I remember hearing about when his “unveiling” was on Oprah, but I never saw it or heard anything else about it. Certainly not the person I would’ve pictured being Elmo’s voice! He is GOOD!!
    Hope you guys are better soon. Aaron’s mom got food poisoning (they think) and ended up in the hospital overnight. Not fun stuff.
