Gold medal questions

Watching the Olympic Games with the Three Whos has been an experience. I cried at the opening ceremonies -- lip-synching and fake fireworks beside the point. It was amazing to watch, to remember standing across from the Bird's Nest less than a year ago as I waited anxiously to get the heck out of Beijing and go meet Baby Who.

But the Big Whos have lots of questions about the Olympics. They want to know at every commercial, "Is it over now?" The wanted to know what all the performers were doing at the opening ceremonies, why they were flying through the air, how things worked.

But the burning question is one of fashion, prompted by our first viewing of women's gymnastics.

"Are they wearing panties, mama?"

Go figure.
