People always compliment us on how well-behaved Annabel is on flights. And until I read Barb's story I didn't quite get it, because it's not like she's anything near perfect--like, there's no way she can handle a Seattle-to-Atlanta without a whining episode somewhere above the Great Plains. But we bought her her own seat from her first flight as an 8-month-old up, and we always have as many toys, books, and snacks as we can cram into a backpack to keep her from getting too bored and cranky.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. I just walked into a plate glass window and bent my glasses all to hell....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Tommy, you should try not to do that.

Actually, it doesn't hurt too much. I think the glasses absorbed most of the impact. And I managed to bend them back to roughly their original shape.

I'm glad it didn't hurt much, but I think I'm still going to stand by my statement.

Ouch.
But there has to be more to the story than that...

Ummm... I thought I was walking through an open door, when in fact the door was 3 feet to my left?

So it wasn't two guys carrying a plate glass window across the street or anything? Oh weel.
Were you at a Starbucks? The one by my house has a doorway set up that is positively made for that. People apparently slam into it all the time, latte first.

Nope. Dunkin Donuts. Actually, I almost walked into the same window about 6 months ago. When you leave the place, you walk through one door into a little vestibule, and then the door to the outside is off to the left. I must have been assuming the outer door was directly in line with the inner door.
I think my poor depth perception was part of the problem....

Nope. Although I did fall into a produce stand. OK, not really.
