Oh msbelle, I almost clapped my hands to mac's words.
Your stories might change my opinion about being a child, Buffistas.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
He summed it up with " I will NOT have a good day."

Neither. I used to associate childhood with unhappiness, almost to a Dickens' level of unhappiness. You know, like most people associate high school with hell.
Your children change my mind about it. Now I think about childhood in an Angel level of true happiness.

I'm going to be thinking that today everytime someone tells me to have a good one. Solidarity with Mac!

He has read the book, but he thinks I am making some commentary with it. He absolutely refuses to read it if he is or has had a bad day.
I am pretty sure that by the time I pick him up he will be ina fine mood, but I am also pretty sure that he will have acted up in class at school.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Now I think about childhood in an Angel level of true happiness.
They are brutal hard work, but so much fun!
Matilda is out in the living room now shouting eagerly at hockey players on TV ("WHADIDAT!") and earlier this morning, when I came back into the bedroom from taking a shower, she was cuddled up in bed with David and her teddy bear, and she and David were making bear-claw hands and whispering, "raaar!" very softly into each other's ears.
I'm right there with Mac. Also, it can't be Friday soon enough. It really, really can't.

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

Childhood, not children.
Having children of my own, right now, is an abstract idea. Like the horizon after the next horizon that's after the next horizon.
