Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

(how funny is that? Disgraced police commissioner-turned-radio-host invites on acrimoniously fired-popular-radio-host who probably bashed on him back in the day!)

I wish it was a hilarious story-line on this season's Wire and not, you know, real life!

Cloth wipes and bowl of water. I should remember to tell that to my SiL who I'm pretty sure will be using cloth diapers.

I always think I should use cloth wipes. But then I don't.

Right now, Noah's having a bad digestive-tract reaction to the antibiotics he was on (the pede tells me it'll be in his system for another 5 days after use. Thanks.). His little steel gut? NSM. So, we've given our day care provider and ourselves a break and are using a pack of disposables.

There are way too many bodily fluids in my life these days.

That works, right? I didn't look it up first.

Bwah

Do you boil everything the baby touches for at least 20 minutes?

oh, man. Wonder how that kid is doing now?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Wonder how that kid is doing now?

Happily wallowing in something gooey, I hope.

That's just craxy. She might as well stick the kid in a plastic bubble and save herself some time.

Nope. But I do use a shopping cart cover when we go shopping (which I made out of flannel with space ships on it. so cute!) and I do use purrell like it's going out of style and I will wipe a cart handle off with an antiseptic wipe before I pick it up.

All of which are things I would have thought were crazy two years ago.

The truth of the matter is that the mother I thought I'd be isn't the mother that I am. Sure I was a perfect relaxed mom before I actually got pregnant and had children.

AND I'd love a plastic bubble. Or at least the ones you see in that commercial, where there is a bubble inside another bubble and you can ride around as people push you down hills. That shit looks fun.

That bubble has a totally fun purpose!

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

Do you think the shift is micro-preemie induced, or something you'd have done anyway if you'd gone to term?
