FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ellie Stanton has had her first kiss.

Los Altos, October 3, 2005 - The Stanton Family announced today that daughter Elizabeth Catherine Stanton "Ellie", age 5, planted her first kiss on a boy, Noah Baum.

"This scares the hell out of me," said Chief Father Officer Patrick Stanton. "While we like the young man, it's just far too young. I didn't have my first kiss until I was 16!"

Katie Stanton, Chief Mother Officer, described the news as "cute, but oy, vey, I'm a nervous wreck. We can barely afford pre-school, let alone a wedding!"

The young man, Noah Baum, was not available for comment.

Inquiries may be directed to the Stanton Family spokesperson, at the email address above.
