Ugh, what they said, Nora. At least once a day someone calls me and tells me they need to ask a "stupid question." It's not stupid to ask a question when you want to know the answer! If you knew the answer, or didn't care, you wouldn't ask.

And so much What Scrappy Said!

Just so I don't come off as a total bitch

I'm thinking you don't say it in a way that makes your students feel stupid and stressed. That is the problem I have with Nora's teacher.

True, Erin. I don't call what you described as an honest question, though. That's someone being lazy and trying to use the prof instead of doing their own work. Nora is a student asking for clarification.

Here's the new 'do.

Great cut, great color, 100% Jess.

Baby bump!

Yes, we had ear plugs.

Daisy got dropped off at the airport at 9:37 this morning. It was so fun having her out here - she's so easy going and just absolutely herself.

Well, Alex rocks. He was the one sensible enough to bring them.

ION, I've been feeling sick in the stomach at the loss of our nice digital camera (a gift from JZ's boss for taking baby pics). It was in the diaper bag we misplaced this weekend.

So EM heard about this, and decided that we couldn't leave Matilda's childhood undocumented until we could afford a new camera. So she bought us a new one. Same nice, expensive camera.

So kind and thoughtful.

Especially from The Ex.

Damn, that's nice of her, Hec. Wow.

It wasn't at the restaurant? It's gone daddy gone?

Not at the restaurant, not in the car, not in the house.

We are baffled.
