I hate it when my top gets washed away.<BR/><BR/>blissfullycaffeinated: well, I'm not sure he could have stopped the kid from falling (and it wasn't a long or dangerous fall), but I was flabbergasted that he was so defensive that he felt like he had to lie to his wife about it.<BR/><BR/>FADKOG: Ryan Reynolds would be all "I a have something slightly sarcastic and witty to say that will make you seem foolish.
