Deep breaths, MM, deep breaths.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Step away from the kiddie TV, MM.
And remember, it could be worse. It could be...Oobi.
t hands MM some sherbert
It could be teletubbies ... one of them is gay, you know.
My mom just called to tell me that she'd already talked to my grandmother and told her to make some extra food for me since I was going there tonight (in order to pick them up from the airport tomorrow morning).
I told her I had already called her and told her not to, since I wasn't eating dinner there. There's a pre-race marathon dinner I'm going to tonight.
"Ah, the marathon people are feeding you, huh?"
"Yeah," I said.
"Do you have to pay for it?"
"Yeah," I said.
"Then why are you going?"
Rather than explain that training for this half-marathon has been a life-changing experience and I wanted to be part of the communal pasta party, that I wanted to see some of my fellow running mates and get some contact information to keep in touch in case we didn't see each other on race day, that the coaches would be giving last-minute tips, that the meal was designed to be digested over the next day and give me the proper energy for race day...I politely, calmly, without malice but with only the slightest hint of exasperation, said, "Stop complaining about everything I do."
There was silence for a few seconds, and she said, "Okay, that's fine, you just get to [your grandmother's] when you get there." And...it wasn't the snappish, defensive, right-about-to-hang-up-the-phone tone I normally get. We continued the conversation in a civilized manner.
...is this progress?
Sounds like progress to me, bub.
WOO! Progress!
EXCELLENT, PC. For serious.
It may have helped that she was distracted by yelling at my little sister's driving. My little sister is driving ! They grow up so fast.
Dang, P-C, that's awesome.
Max and Ruby? I actually LIKE that one. Along with Wonder Pets and Backyardigans. It's Dora and Diego who make me want to tear out my eyes so I don't have to see their freaky staring visages and puncture my eardrums so I don't have to listen to their SHOUTING VOICES ever again.
I think there's a law that you must loathe at least one show your child thinks is the best EVAH.
