Yee!

Kinder first noticed the "Yee" signs a couple of weeks ago. Someone named Jimmie Yee is running for Board of Supervisors and his bright blue placards with yellow-green lettering have started sprouting on local lawns. Kinder wanted to know what the signs said and now, as we tool around town, our rides are punctuated by crows of "Yee!" A precursor to Punch Bug?

Äiti: When I was growing up, there were two kids in my seventh grade homeroom whose last names were Yee. But, they were not brother and sister. William and Frances.

Kinder: Frances?!?

Unexpected and instant segue into the beloved Frances of the Russell and Lillian Hoban books.

Heh. When I saw the title of this posting, my first thought was that it was going to be about William. :-)
