No period yet. That's my update on the Baby Game.
Bruno and I were surfing the internet a couple of nights ago and came across a couple of pictures of him on someone's website. I have decided to post them below, because frankly, they are funny! When Bruno was a kid, he was an extra on "The Wonder Years". For two seasons he played "student #8". He could be found in the background of most of the school scenes and was even in the opening credits of the episode with Margaret Farquare (I butchered that spelling!). But remember her? She was the strange girl with three ponytails. Anyhow, the opening credits showed the highschool yearbook photos and Bruno's picture was front and center. When we first started dating, he showed me the yearbook page. His mom had kept it. How cute, huh? He was even in some Fred Savage movie about a kid who goes to the video game championship. I don't remember the name of the movie, but rest assured that it was up for an Oscar that year!
Now, as you can imagine, living with a former child actor is not easy! After his Wonder Years glory, work was few and far between and so he turned to a life of drugs and crime. It was a rough time for his family. Every few weeks they would have to go searching the neighborhood for little Bruno, making sure that he wasn't dead in the gutter or holding up a liquor store. He eventually cleaned up, but sometimes his ego can get a little out of hand! Like last night, we were going to a lecture at the DIA and he pushed a bunch of people out the way and shouted, "Don't you know who I am???" I call these outbursts "child-actor flashbacks". It's really difficult at times. When he is feeling down, he sits at his desk and signs pictures of himself. Lately he's taken to blogging about "the good old days". He keeps calling Fred Savage but Fred won't take his calls anymore. Frankly, I'm starting to get worried. The other night in his sleep he was humming the theme song to VH1's Flashback 80's. He's waiting for them to call and ask him to be a guest host...
O.K., I exaggerate... But, he really was an extra and so I like to tease him relentlessly! Anyhow, here is a picture of my Bruno. He's the dark kid with the bushy hair. Isn't he cute? He insists that the camera loved him. G-d he's a riot!

Here's another pic. He's the kid in the gray shirt. Hot!
