Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

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

My mom just sent me an email telling me she's planning a big book signing party for me.

And then there's this:

P.S. gavin is toilet training, he had an accident, I told him it was ok, that auntie Allyson peed on the floor when she was little. Now he keeps saying auntie Allyson pees on the floor. (sorry)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Now he keeps saying auntie Allyson pees on the floor.

It's your first scandal!

Art Crawl!!!

So, uh, cute. At what point at your book party do you think he's going to bring this up?

Trust my rage

This story got big laughs here, I suppose because we can all picture Ellie doing the same thing. Thankfully, she's a bit hard to understand though, so probably no one would get what she was saying.

I think he'll wait until some old flame arrives, and then happily screech the news.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

happily screech the news.

Hopefully without visual aids.

She knows how to fetch and she never pees on the floor.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Let us frolic in my totally dope blanket fort.

This is -- and I mean this in the best and most affectionate possible way -- the most McSweeney'sesque thing I have ever seen outside of an actual issue of McSweeney's.

If I didn't already have a Boy of my very own, with whom I am crazily madly topsy-turvily sweetly geekily in love, then I would be pining for blanket-fort guy.

Though, really, if I asked, The Boy would undoubtedly build a blanket fort. (It would just take him a week to do it, because he'd check building code first, and then figure out how to rig up running water in the fort, etc.)

And we do plenty of geeky things already. Like making Mobius strips (in bed). (That's so NOT a euphemism. We cut Mobius strips out of paper and then discussed how awesome they are, in terms of being spatial anomalies.) (Yes, we know they aren't REALLY spatial anomalies. It's just fun to say. Try it!)

(And did I mention that he made me a metal Mobius strip? Which I adore beyond all reason and would probably rescue before my laptop in the event of a fire?)
