He knows the difference between the Beach Boys and the Beastie Boys. Bonus: He prefers the Beasties! His sense of humor is sophisticated and constant - and (more than) occasionally inappropriate. His brothers and parents are probably equally to blame. He has seen every single James Bond movie and can tell you which actor played … Continue reading 8 reasons why Quinn is cooler than (most) other 8 y/o’s:

I’ve got a badge – and a glass of wine.
Well, guess who gets to be the bad cop? Yes, yes, I know, if the shoe fits, blah blah blah. Whatever. Give me a second, please, while I take another swig swallow sip of wine, ok? Exhale. Sigh.
