msbelle, is this your parents' first grandchild?
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yes and will probably be their only.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And ita, honestly, any time you post that you are able to unwind at all, I'm happy about that, too. Where there are migraines, thou shalt not judge thyself harshly for hiding from the hurty world
My best friend just called and I had the lamest low-energy conversation ever with her. It's not like she doesn't understand the migraine thing--quite the reverse. I just feel like I'm letting the side down.
But perhaps tonight is a night to be self-centred. I'll work more on that and get back to [spooks].

Be prepared to see a side of your parents you've never seen! (And I mean that in the nicest way. Freaks me out to see my mom turn into Grandma, but also tickles me something silly.)

They must just be beside themselves!

Oh yeah. My mom called me the other day to discuss my nephew's fear of the potty. We had a half hour conversation about poop. My mom has been replaced with Grammie-bot.

I napped all evening. Which was nice. But now I don't wanna recap and I really should or I'll hate myself tomorrow. Feh.
Allyson, would it help to answer it jokingly? I mean, I can imagine what you would say if someone asked you that in person, and I think you'd be self-deprecating (because that's a given) but it would end up with "this is why people at least recognize my name, even if it's because they think I'm a jerk." I dunno, I guess that's just how I would approach it, but I revel in my jerky reputation.
Oh! My mom saw Mo "Don't Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!" Willems at the National Book Festival today. She said he was entertaining even for people who are slightly older than 3.

I revel in my jerky reputation as well. Someone asked me that question the other day, and I said, "because I'm charming."
I felt like a jackass.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I went out to dinner with Emily, and then made her try some of my good tequila without any mixer, but she didn't like it, so now I am drinking it.
Poor me.
