I hope you enjoyed my favorite kids week as much as I did. I love kids. I'm thinking about opening up a daycare in the riff raff room. It's too bad that we have to grow up, but I guess at some point, the parents really need the break. I read that the only animals that stay with their parents longer than humans are whales. It's probably easier having a whale baby. You never have to get them to clean their room, you never have to make them wash behind their ears. ...I don't think whales even have ears. ...I wonder how they keep their glasses on?
Marc Yu is great on the piano, but I like his jokes even more. Of course, Emily Bear was wonderful as usual. I wish she could be on every day. Maybe I should have an all kid house band. Tristan and Nic Puehse are amazing skateboarders. I bet their mom is a nervous wreck. Someday, when he's headlining in Vegas, you'll go to see the grown up Anthony Gargiula and say to yourselves, "I first saw this guy on Ellen." I can't wait to hear his backstage reports from American Idol. Speaking of Idols, I was totally surprised by Mary J. Blige's birthday present. What a gift to have someone so talented sing for me. It was great to see all the improvements that ZOOTOO made to Janice Wolf's animal refuge. What a fantastic human being.
