Another Garfield fan

Natalie was introduced to the charms of Garfield by her cousin Caroline.  The plump cat and his antics have now found another supporter in the form of Graham.  The whole flight home from New York yesterday, Graham sat next to Mary and cackled while reading a Garfield book.  Later at bedtime, Mary was reading some particularly choice episodes to him, and he laughed so hard that he... had a little accident.  Oh my.

This afternoon, Graham decided that it was time to watch a little television.  Usually that means military documentaries, preferably WWII.  But I was able to steer him initially to some Jetsons and some Loonie Tunes. And then a touch of Elmo. But, soon enough, his sweet tooth showed itself, and we were watching the military channel about World War I (which will do in a pinch). After some discussion of Turkey rushing to Baku and difficulties on the Eastern Front, the focus turned to France and America's entrance into the war. "This must be 1917, since that's when America entered," Graham informed me.
