“Will told me last night that Dumbledore dies in The Half-Blood Prince.”
“WHA?”
“C. told him at school.”
“You are kidding. His parents must have brought him to the movie. HOW DARE THEY.”
“I asked Will if C. said anything about Santa Claus.”
“That would have been much better. I think I want to kick that kid’s ass.”

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

You should totally keep your kids away from my big mouth.

I can so relate! I’ve been reading the first book with Sydney, and am living in fear that someone will tell her about Dumbledore. Was Will upset?

That is betrayal of the highest order. That kid deserves some one on one time with a dementer.

personally I’ve never gotten over his death since I first read it in the book. It left a whole in me as if he were an actual person. I even find myself still angry with J.K. Rowling–how dare she!

LOL that’s too funny!
My son was a big mouth when he was younger. He told his step-brother (same age) that there was no Santa Claus….This was not a fun thing to explain to his Mother!
