It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Frankly, when it isn't an actual distressing event, angry or upset kids are ridic funny. In some cases, laughing is bad, but ya wanna. God knows I cooed all sorts of obscene things at T when he was riled over the world not conforming to his will. Hell, D is almost 5 (holy shit, how did that happen?) and when he had a moment, it was mostly me trying not to convulse in laughter. Especially when T threw a hungry-fit and I was not fast enough for the wee dictator. D told me "I don't think you are very good at this" in a bid to get me to ignore the infant and go back to building transformers out of legos.

I still find that hysterically funny.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

the banker was using the exchange rate backwards

Reminds me of the story of the Gimli Glider, where they had to calculate weight of fuel from the volume, and they used the factor for pounds instead of kilograms. Result: they ran out of fuel halfway between Montreal and Edmonton.

He was hangry!

My friend's kid, when she was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than she is now, she had a full blown fit in an El Chico's over us telling her she couldn't get a piercing that day. I think she was like 4.

I adore wee Princess Grace! There was a magazine in Whole Foods with a celebration of Grace Kelly on the cover. Now I want to get it and send it to y'all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. Although there was a whole series of bizarre coincidences/occurrences that had to happen in order for nobody to catch that boo-boo.

Hee! Yeah, hangry. With an older brother to rub it in. An older brother whose concern was not about the hangry, but the TRANSFORMERS. Gotta love kids.

Need to get the latest on flickr.

Aww.

Since we have rounds of appointments with specialists for Noah still, we keep running into other families who were in the NICU at the same time we were, incuding Keegan and Declan, a set of twins who were born after Noah. Both weigh significantly less than Noah but are longer than he is. My boy has my short fat genes.

Just finished PD. Laughing like a loon!

ER poll: So, is the grouchy doctor's kid suicidal or having a manic episode?

I have no PD because Mr. Jane traded up our DVR before I could watch it. Boo!

I'm only watching bits and pieces because the sick kid storyline is not working for me.

PD is online at ABC's site, DJ. I know this, because I'm never around to watch it live. Well, maybe once.
