Empyreal Environs

The top 11 things Jiana McDonald, Darnell McDonald’s daughter, has said this past week:

1. Why did you have to cut your hair? Is it because Uncle Dusty called you “The Predator”?





2. You said maybe I could work with YES, so I looked at their website. Why does Michael Kay have such a big head? It’s as big as Mr. Orsillo’s.


3. Could I stay here in Boston so I can still be a kid reporter?


4. Can Jenny come over for a sleepover?


5. Daddy, when you hit 400 home runs can I interview you?





6. Can I wear makeup? Can you ask Mr. A-Rod where he got his lipstick from?


7. If I can’t be a kid reporter on NESN can I be a Navy SEAL?





8. Why is Uncle Dusty all angry and trying to take off his cast?


9. I thought if you did radio you were supposed to sound good. That Mrs. Waldman has a funny voice.


10. How come you’re in the teeny, tiny clubhouse when we go to Fenway now?


11. What is that picture on your cap, Is that a spider? Eww, get it away, I don’t like spiders.
