Hide the toys, flea!!
Natter 36: But We Digress...
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, just wait until after bedtime. At least half of them will magically disappear (into the basement) overnight.
Unfortunately, she seems to like the really noisy one best. Though that could be mr. flea. The Little People talk on the phone to each other. Whatever happened to the goddamned imagination?
My mom likes to tell about the time when my brother, then kindergarten-aged, got a little cannon from my uncle (dad's brother). Dad and said uncle then proceeded to take it outside in the December cold and play with it while my brother (afraid of loud noises) just watched from the window. So much for the cannon being for the kid!
If there are any bitter, snarky liberals out there, you ought to like BEAST's 50 Most Loathsome People of 2004. I love stuff like describing Jenna Jameson as "The first best-selling author who could be sodomized with a well-thrown baseball since Truman Capote." So I passed it on.

Wow! Casper's mom is the meanest mom in Meanopolis.
I like fireworks. And this year, my dog is deaf enough not to get upset about them. yay!

"Your diaper isn't poopy; it's clean." Eve thinks for a second. "Wet diiiiiiiaper." Nice try kid, ya think we were born yesterday? Last night, I swear to god, she smacked her head on the side of the crib on purpose so she could cry and call out "I bump my head!" so we'd go in to her.
dang.
