Annelise wins Jane Austen contest 2004

I raised my daughter, Annelise, on the BBC P&P – perfect for when she was home sick.  You get six fairly guilt-free hours out of it.  You can’t say that with any other TV program.

When she was about three, I was wheeling her in her stroller at our local mall when all at once she cried out, “Prejudice!”

Everyone turned and looked at me accusingly; what was I teaching my kid?

“Huh?” I said, leaning over the stroller.

A big smile spread over her face.

“Mr. Darcy!” she cried.

The kid had the right idea.  Too bad no one at the mall appreciated it.
