katie ka-boom

When the cartoon Animaniacs was around, one of the recurring characters was a teenager named Katie Ka-boom. She was dramatic and overreacted to very small issues and at the end of the cartoon she would explode (it was hilarious). In our house we thought it was funny because we had a Katie who could sometimes, maybe, occasionally get a bit emotional. And perhaps that still rings a bit true, but this week she did a very, very brave thing and moved across the country (for her third time no less), from the beach and friends to a place with acquaintances and months of winter left. So seems like in that situation anyone would feel a little ka-boom...



I'm just glad the move meant she stopped by us on her way, cus I like being around as many siblings as possible at all times.
