Typee
I read Moby Dick all the way through for the first time last year and was glad to have finally set myself to enjoy Melville’s work. It takes a little more discipline than most novels or adventure stories but is well worth it!
A few weeks ago, I decided to pick up Typee which I own in a nice slipcase edition. It is a fictionalized account of Melville’s own experiences among the Typee people and I find it fascinating that his own life contained such interesting, risky, and exciting adventures. The book was thoroughly enjoyable, easy to read and full of interesting anthropological sidelights. Highly recommended!
The following picture illustrates what happens when the mom is a bookish sort who likes to get away of an evening for a little quiet reading and writing and dad makes and serves dinner…
Yep. Naked babies. Eating spaghetti. From the pot. On the patio. Sigh…

Oh my word … that's the best … EVER! Actually, he may be on to something. They'll get it all over anyway … so much easier just to hose 'em off before they come back inside!

That is awesome. Truly, I think all parents should feed their children like this. To Amy's point, easy to clean up and likely some extra protein or fiber will make it's way into their little belly's in the process.

You'll treasure these pictures more than the dressed-up posed ones. I love this!
