Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw lots of small kids at PotC: DMC, too. It sort of weirded me out because it was awfully scary for young children but a lot of people just don't seem to care anymore.

Corwood, sorry for the family trauma and drama. Yeesh. I'm so lucky I didn't get any shit from my in-laws on child-rearing issues (even if they didn't always agree with us, they kept their traps shut).

Seekrit message to Cash:

Seekrit message to Aillean:You. Bet. Email me the times you want to go see it and I'll check the schedule.

Our wings are not tired.

Laura, do you find now that people expect more maturity from yoru boys, because they're tall?

All the time. When they were babies people expected them to be talking. Now the 14yo is 6'4" and people think he is a man. Not at all manly, just oversized kid.

On the Hemingway cats item above, I love that place. Even though they say there are all those cats you really don't notice. The house is open to the cats, but they are in the trees and around the property. I don't know what they do when there's a storm. No doubt they have a safe spot hide out.

You know, if you have to take Pepto Bismol regularly for hangovers, you might think about drinking less, rather than adding your hangover cure to ice cream....

I can't imagine taking my kids to PotC, not that I'll be seeing it myself. Scooby-Doo is pushing the envelope for them.

Now the 14yo is 6'4"

Damn.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What Gudanov said. Just....damn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, Laura. That's got to be really really hard.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I've read both the cat and dog diaries before, but this -

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. The audacity!

- is a thing of beauty.

I can't imagine taking my kids to PotC, not that I'll be seeing it myself.

See, what with reading all about Mel Gibson's arrest and all, I've been seeing the above as "Passion of the Christ" all day. Talk about scary...

What is even happening?

I saw lots of small kids at PotC: DMC, too. It sort of weirded me out because it was awfully scary for young children but a lot of people just don't seem to care anymore.

I remember when Scott and I went to see Dracula (the Keanu one) years ago, being appalled to see little ones there (not babies either, just old enough to be scared, young enough to not be quiet about it). If I recall correctly, it was a late-ish show, too (9:00pm or after). It's just selfish. It's not fair to the other audience members, and it's not fair to the child. Go see a movie for kids, or go do something else.

I wouldn't take them to that either.
