Kid Bio, Rietz Style

Emmanuel:"Manny," "Day", "DB", "D Rock." A vigorous and synaptic 8 yr old full of beats and impersonations. Excels in the arts of origami and finger weaving. Maker of water bombs, gallon-sized snow hunks in lieu of snow balls, and re-interpretations of Bionicals. The always hungry, veggie-chopping, chef whose preference for Bobbi's hummous is diminishing his college fund. Celebrates Halloween year-round.


Benicio:"Nicky." "Benickio." "Neechee Boy." Would like his own place. Part ninja. Teaching himself to swim with fierce independence. His pension for novelty will be his undoing. Author. Has three loose teeth. When cornered, charges head on. Maker of coupon books, comic strips, and surrealist jokes. Favors the double-hit fake-out in Dodgeball and prefers Hide'n Seek with no base.

Modeled after a Christmas card from the Rietzes of Santa Monica, who have always managed to be glamorous and humble at the same time.

Maria: "Mia." "Mri-mri." "Murrah." "Mareer (from Kobialka's)." Makes writing look easy AND fun. Makes whatever sandwich she's eating seem yummy. Emotionally resets after an outdoor walk. Closet brown belt. Knows what kids love. Love of my life.
