Evangeline Lilly wants to write children's books.

Hmmmm.

In the same vein, the other day, I received this HUGE box in the mail.  I opened it to discover ANOTHER huge box decorated with the logo for that brand-new John Grisham kids' book with the horrible name.  I opened THAT box to find a whole lot of empty space and, like, 14 sheets of paper.

But those marketing people at Penguin are clearly geniuses who are capable of manipulating me despite my anti-Kid-Lawyer sentiment, because among those 14 pieces of paper were some Hold Your Very Own Mock Trial stickers.  One of which says, "Judge."

Which I'm wearing. 

DAMMIT!  They got me again.

It was pointed out by a coworker that Theodore Boone Kid Lawyer sounds like a Saturday Night Live sketch. Does that help any?

Hey man, I'm wearing a Sheriff's star, but that in no way implies an endorsement of Hank the Cowdog (although I do love Hank the Cowdog). You be a judge if you want!

Did you get the little pen gavel as well? I've had to resist calling for "Order!" in my children's room for about a week now. Any minute now I'll crack for good.
