I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yes: steal him and see to it that he's raised among people who regard reading as a good thing.
Oh she loves reading to him. They just had several horrendous house repairs including $900 for a new boiler, (and the basement flooded) so anything that isn't food, shelter, diapers, and gerber sweet potatoes is an extravagance.
So the books and the Superman costumes are up to Auntie, and Grammie buys the Osh Kosh overalls.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
One of the professors DH works with was on vacation on Phuket with the tsunami struck. Since he's a doctor and public health specialist, he pitched in and did what he could. His account is here: [link]

I got him Goodnight Moon
A few years ago a colleague and I developed a treatment program for helping parents to get their kids to go to sleep at night. Part of the program was an individualized book that we created for each kid, in which the kid was the protagonist and the family sleep routine (snack, brush teeth, etc.) was part of the story. The other book that we gave to every family was Goodnight Moon. For many low-income families these were the first two books that the kid ever owned, and it was painful to see how excited the kids were to have them. On the other hand, these kids could truthfully point out that half of the books that they owned had been written about them.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I absolutely love all of the children's book suggestions.
So is it a bad sign that I just got great glee going through my new 2005 calendar and marking all of the days I'm not working until school gets out in late June?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I would like to volunteer someone.
