ita, if she's three, everything you give her will get stained, lost, flushed, or broken, if her folks let her anywhere near it, anyhow. The threes are (ime) more terrible than twos ever thought of being.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

They were talking about Peter Jennings on the radio this morning--one of the former news guys at the station e-mailed in a story about the time he attended an ABC News holiday party, where he saw Jennings on his knees, bowing down to the magnificence of the Weather Girls, playing on the stage in front of him. Afterwards, he walked up to the e-mailer and asked him, "Has the spaceship landed yet?" A few hours later, the e-mailer saw him sitting on the curb outside the party with his head in his hands.
Peter Jennings, party animal!

I can just be that aunt, can't I? The one that gives krav stuff?
I think that it would make your presents more special, in the sense that this little girl will never get a Jamaican/krav-logo-ed anything from anybody else. Anything else, she probably either already has it, or will get it as soon as some other grown-up will come up with the idea. It will just have to be a shiny making-3-years-old-happy kind of Jamaican/krav-logo-ed present.

I can just be that aunt, can't I?
Yes, you can.
There are also wooden blocks, of which you can never have too many.
They are my favorite 2 or 3 year old gift.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Krav stuff should be made to last, right?
Also, I am having a delightful lunch -- pepperoni, cheddar, grapes, and vanilla diet coke. mmmm.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
In Hebrew there's a slang expression called "teaspoon state" to describe just that.
I LOVE this phrase. In high school we called it "Denny's Time", since most of our teaspoon states occured in that 24-hour eatery known as Denny's, but teaspoon state is just so much better.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And nothing, but nothing, is cuter than wee boxing gloves. (Except for Casper and all other Buffista babies.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I leave Friday, though. And I'll be at the krav centre three times between now and then ... yeah, I'm that aunt.

In Hebrew there's a slang expression called "teaspoon state" to describe just that. It's when the sight of a teaspoon or the pronunciation of the word are considered hillarious. Usually it involves late hours of the night and the like, of course.
I LOVE this phrase. In high school we called it "Denny's Time", since most of our teaspoon states occured in that 24-hour eatery known as Denny's, but teaspoon state is just so much better.
In those post college years my friends and I were hanging out in Denny's and the like, we referred to this state as "Stop-sign syndrome."
