I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

What is even happening?

I do not think I have ever heard anyone call my mom -- another Cynthia -- Cyn, or Cin, or even Syn. I might need to try it and see what she says. (Or, actually, not.)

Is she called Cynthia, or Cindy? I don't think that over here, people abbreviate Cynthia as much as they do Cindy (that is, when the woman goes by Cynthia). In England, I don't think they use "Cindy" much, but everyone ends up being Cyn.

move out and draw fire

Clipping baby nails is the single worst baby-related chore.

Those quotes from Santorum's book are ill-making. I do like that somebody wrote a sarcastic review on Amazon. Think I might head over and mention that I can't think of Santorum without thinking of Dan Savage's application of the word.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Why does the public record hate America?

I know!

I used to clip the babies' nails when they were sleeping, but not during night-sleep. During a nap, toward the end. Sometimes, it would take me a few sessions before all 10 were done.

Okay, it's sprinkler time. See ya'll later.

I think extracting spit up from nostrils is worse.

And the Buffistas do their best to reinforce that my never having babies was the best decision I ever made.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I think extracting spit up from nostrils is worse.

Maybe you should stop holding Lily upside down while you're burping her.

If I only had a brain...

Giving medication to a baby who is screaming her rage is the worst. I once wrapped something she hated in chocolate ice cream; seconds later the Cipro AND the ice cream came back up. We called the pedi for a different antibiotic.
