I think of *your* Mallory, and giggle at the image of him running for mayor
Hee! It's the first step on his way to King of the World.
I have the best Emily EVAH!
You do! Be good to her.
Robert and I are having a deep philosophical discussion about the effectiveness of having an internal moral compass (vs. following societal precepts). It's fun. It started off as a D&D discussion.

I'm trying. We're really taking turns these last few days. Kind of sucky week for both of us.
If this had been the case in my school, I can guaranty, I would have never done homework and no amount of punishment from my mother would have convinced me
This. I had enough knock-down-drag-outs about how Dad should just ignore all those Unsatisfactory effort marks -- if I was getting 100s on the tests, why should I expend any more energy than I had to? If there had been no grading at all, fugeddaboutit.

IO(parentingsucks)N, Bobby threw up all over the bus, the car pool mom's car, and then his bed. He's asleep now and I am back at work. He had chocolate milk and a juice at lunch.
