Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They had a pinata at my grandmother's birthday party, but it was empty! Bummer.

That's just cruel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The last krav birthday party I attended had a pinata. I'm a little surprised no one was killed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My MiL has a pumpkin pinata, I'm guessing she got it from Target or maybe Ralphs.

Yeah, there was almost serious property damage at the last adult party I went to with a pinata. OK, it was a one year old's birthday party, but that meant most of the guests were adults, and the birthday boy wasn't so much with the blindfold and the stick.

We had a baseball bat to smack the piñata with. And then some of the non-kravvers would wave the bat around, and you could see the krav instructors get a leetle bit more alert every time it came near.

Between that and the water pistols it coulda been ugly.

The brain cake is WRONG.

Kprinkle!
This never fails to make me laugh!

Sophia is ME! Always makes me chuckle.

I just signed a brizillion papers to put Grace in a long term care facility. Not only is her case manager of indeterminate gender (named Alex) so is her nurse (named Angel).

paperdol, you're still taking Noah to the party, yes? Because you don't know this, but you are on the list of allowable folks to pick him up at day care, even if you don't have a carseat base in your car (yet).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac's newish babysitter (one day each week) was the person to get him from the building to the bus for 2 weeks without ever being on my emergency card at his school as an approved person. They are so hypocritical with the uber-watching of the kids.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Monday Night Football: I don't actually care about Bengals football, but it's possible that all y'all may have read about (or heard on NPR) the pigeons in Paul Brown Stadium are so excessive with their pooping on spectators, that, some time last week, Bengals officials were planning to *shoot* them (the pigeons) because so many fans had complained about the poop.

Then today or yesterday, apparently having drawn much animal-rights ire, they changed their mind and won't shoot them, just aim laser pointers at them, I assume to....piss them off??

Anyway, the point of my post is that the pigeon controversy yielded this cartoon: [link]

That's hysterical, Steph. I wish the pigeons could be trained to poop on command.
