Aimee, just wait until his kid flips out and refuses to wear blue shirts (or something equally random yet kidlike). Then you can suggest that the kid has emotional problems.
Or, you could be a better person than me, and just be nice and commiserate.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds like a lot of fun, connie. Vegas, baby, Vegas!
What a bizarre thing for someone to say, Aimee. Very WTF

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Bwahahaha. Need I remind you of my pillow that says, "If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me."?

Roll your eyes and ignore it. This time
I am not a parent or a teacher - but I do story time for 3- 5 year olds. 3 year olds come in a wide variety of behaviors - some are closer to being babies , others have hit the age of reason . and they have a logic of their own. I have one boy that talks about me constantly- and talks to me in the library. But he won't look at me in story time. I've seen 3 yr olds tell their moms to leave story time - and then just start crying because they don't know where mom is. The kid that has loved story time - suddenly doesn't want to be there.

3 year olds are raw manic depression. I'm convinced.

Heh. That pillow is why I always try to sit next to you!

I think that might be truer than I want it to be

It's definitely truer than that I want it to be.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
My 3 year old niece is going through that crazy fit throwing stage too. After a while, it's kind of funny (speaking not as a parent). It's just... kid logic is really, really weird and hilarious. Tom and I would do our Erin impressions:
Nora: What do you think we should do for dinner? Chinese?
Tom: (screaming) I DON'T WANT CHINESE FOOD AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Nora: Pizza?
Tom: I DON'T LIKE PIZZA AND YOU ARE MEAN!
Nora:
t dies laughing
Needless to say, my sister does not find this quite as amusing, so we just work that action in the privacy of our own home. But Erin would do that for Every. Single. Statement. or question put to her.
My parents call her a drama queen, which sort of annoys me because again, it seems to speak to her personality instead of this phase she's in. Too soon to attribute to personality!

My 3 year nephew did not want to wash his hands. Dad took him into the bathroom and washed his hands. H Screamed for about 15 minutes after. I thought it was really funny. Dad was pretty cool. I honestly hope that the worst thing that ever happens to my nephew is that his dad makes him wash his hands.
