We skipped a season or two but we’re back to watching American Idol. Really, it’s just me and the kids who for some reason have really gotten into it. It’s like a family time activity to pick our favorites and vote at the end. I’ve actually been calling for the first time ever.

As soon as Antonella Barba came on screen Dante says, ” ‘tonella, I like her…I want to vote for her.” (Don’t forget he’s just 4 years old).

He also noticed something about Gina Glocksen: “Nini, she has a dot in her mouth.” —there was no need for further explanation, we just left it at that.
