Ollievision

Oliver was on the news for a second last night, the only kid looking at the camera while every other kid in his class looked at the Labrador to whom the SPCA was teaching them to be kind.

My own debut was on a Portland, OR kids show which featured incredibly violent cartoons and a smile contest which I unbelievably won since I share Oliver's dread of being seen. Crooked teeth, less than perfect skin, and a kid-hating stepfather usually taking the picture or looming behind me are to blame for my failure to win any more smile contests.
