Donnie Darko, man.

However, even if the ball of plasma is a black hole, it is not thought to pose a threat.

Um, it's not thought to pose a threat? Counldn't they have said, "it absolutely positively has 0 percent chance of sucking life the universe and everything into its hungry black maw, we promise"? Somehow I'm not feeling comforted.

It's a Tough Nice approach.

Dick Clark's still not dead, and not one person here called him Schroedinger's Dick. It's like I don't even know you people, any more.

-t came closest. I should give you at least partial credit -t, considering you're under a full hormonal assault.

Thanks for the Chris Yays, everyone.

Evil Fluffy Bunny, yes, but developmentally appropriate.

They're going to have a lot of fun with this evil little fluffy bunny, next year.

Yay for Chris! I didn't really doubt it. I think he's so smart he's learned to take advantage of his youngest child status, and he'll suss out the new social order in no time.

I think you're right, Hec. I think part of the reason I questioned if he was developmentally ready, is because Ben and Julia have always been developmentally advanced. Chris is reading and using numbers like a kid two or three years older, but in every other way, he seems so much younger at this age, than they did. But when I look at how far he has come in just two years, it amazes me.

YaY! At this time of year I can't wait for them to be done with it, then about 3 weeks into summer vacation I am ready for school to reopen.

I hate all the running and rushing that the school year brings. I always wonder how teachers who are parents manage to make it to Christmas time, without a nervous breakdown. I prefer vacation times, but since I already have to be rushing around for the older two, it will be nice to have some time again, when I'm the only one home in my house. I feel like I just got a promising letter from the parole board.

I think being scared is a normal reaction.

yes, because I am big and tough.

Like...a crate of jerky? Is that what you're trying to convey.

Because I've seen you in a vintage 50s cocktail dress and you seemed petite and rather girlish.

Skimmer. My very next line was, "-t came closest."
