Grumpy McGrumpy Pants
After Gimme! we went to Cafe Grumpy. I didn’t take any pictures because (TMI warning) Macia had a stinky diaper and we needed to find some place to change her and I was thirsty but didn’t want any more coffee and the shop was small inside and it was cold outside and we had done a lot of walking and the Babe and I were tired but she wouldn’t go to sleep in the mei tai.

One of the songs she used to sing–not to us, really, but it was in one of the song books we had for piano and she’d play it for me occasionally–was the Fourteen Angels song from a Hansel and Gretel opera.
