When my dad and I go to the movies or out to eat, folks assume we're a couple, which skeeves the fuck out of me. My dad looks exceptionally young. He thinks it's great and it strokes is ego that people think he's so young, while I'm having a fit of heebie jeebies across from him.

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

yeah, ita, I'm sure I'll see it. It's my kind of kids-in-the-ghetto-inspired-by-passionate-mentor schtick.
Speaking of which, what's the Jaime Escalante movie? Lori works with a kid who had Escalante as a teacher and who had a character based on him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mekhi is still on my list.
He hasn't talked himself out of an F, anyway.

He can be on that list and still not the Rapture list.

My father and sister were offered a hotel room with one bed upon checkin once. It took her weeks for her skin to stop crawling.
He's reasonably young-looking, and she looked late 20s even though I think she was early 20s at the time.

In the picture books, all of the nominees are spinach -- holocaust, segregation and vietnam war are the topics. Doesn't that scream spinach.Maybe even liver and onions with a side of spinach.
This is what I appreciate about my son's teacher. The book he chose for his first book report this year was kind of light (I thought). I asked her if it was okay. She said, "I already know he can read. I want him to love to read, so I want him to read what he loves."

My brother and I have had similar things more than once and we look distinctly alike. Ew.

Kristin, I do too. She's given him back his joy where school is concerned. This is a little boy who, since pre-school, has adored school. He'd cry when I'd make him stay home sick. Last year sucked almost every ounce of joy out of him. Last night, it was snowing, and I told the kids if it was too bad out this morning, I'd be keeping them home, whether or not school was called. He protested vociferously--even though he has a social studies test, today. :) :) :)
(The went to school--oh, and now I have to go get Julia. Later, gators.)
