Man, I remember when Hec was going through his school placement drama with Emmett.
The wounds...they never heal.
School-ma for Frances and Leif! A round of optimal assignments for the Buffista sprog.
Simon: Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword. Zoe: I think he knows which end to hold.

Natter 58: Let's call Venezuela!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
~ma for Frances.
She even says "duh!" and "you drive me crazy."
Emeline says "Chill out, dad" complete with dismissive hand wave.
I don't know whether to laugh or throttle her.

not your mom's socks.
Emeline says "Chill out, dad" complete with dismissive hand wave.
Iris just went for "We are NOT discussing this right now." (this being bedtime/teethbrushing, etc)

I get "What.Evvver" from my daughter. A couple of nights ago I pissed off Leif and he started yelling "Shame on you Dad! Shame!"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I sit with DJ in a good day having corner
2 work issues that have been looming for months but are not in my control to fix are moving towards a solution, papers that have been sitting on my desk for over a week finally got approval and can now go away, got hold of my Dr. for meds I need, scheduled a weekend playdate for mac, got info on a gov't office I need stuff from, entered schedules for the next 2 weekends into calendar, and I'm about to schedule a massage.

He's going to turn six in June and we need to see if he'll be placed in second or third grade
Oh my goodness! Smartypants buffistasprog WILL be taking over the world! If their evil plans come to fruition!
I can't believe Frances is old enough for school in the fall!
Oh! Um, do any LAistas want to have dinner on Tuesday? I'll be in LA...usual spot up by UCLA, though doing different things for a whole other company.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda is content with a very matter-of-fact "No" to any inquiry about which she is unenthusiastic.
Me: "Can we get you changed now?"
Matilda: "No."
Two things that do warrant her enthusiasm are "Baseball!" and motorcycles ("Zum!").

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Forsooth, papa!
Just as I clicked on the stripper-shoe links I got a text from someone dubbing me "most likely to pole dance" and so I'm feeling a little bit surreal. And I'm not sure how I became that chick either.
Now, are you to put bills in through those slots? I'd hate to have anything that could actually pick up any momentum or make much noise banging around down there.
This week's Women Undercover or whatever was exhibitionist/voyeuse. I did not know that NYC has a naked cowgirl. She seems mostly nice, but a little bit smug. Still, looks like she only works 6 months a year, and calls all her own shots, so go her.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
motorcycles ("Zum!").
wipes away a happy tear

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm not sure how I became that chick either.
Call me crazy, but the pole-dancing probably had something to do with it.
