I had a kid I babysat who would get so upset that he'd vomit. That was fun. Most of the time I could distract him out of it. Thankfully.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
For the lovers of Shakespeare, comedy, Catherine Tate, and/or David Tennant.
So funny on so many levels. (also one of the reasons I use my maiden+married name most of the time) Thanks for sharing, Barb.

Grading. I cannot do it anymore. I just can't. Someone wrote this as his answer on a quiz:
To be completely honest, I have not paid attention to the whole delta notation and would wish that we could just move on. Please don't take this as me being a smart-ass, but because I took calc in high school, this section of the material is just all review for me.
That's it. I cannot deal with this anymore.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Argh, Hil. That's obnoxious.
Sorry I disappeared. I suddenly realized I had to run around and get people. Aidan's fine now--they had Tuesday off and today he was back to normal. Kara's fine, too. I had to make a run to the thrift store this afternoon because both of them have suddenly grown again and very little was fitting. Then we went to the library to get Greg, and Kara asked a librarian to please help her find books about God..." in the NON-fiction section."
I was thanked and apologized to for the lack of AV equipment. They were all very nice people and what I did was fun. Mostly, it was nice to see a lightbulb go off over someone's head, or spark discussion about something interesting. I love that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Toddlers and babies have hair-trigger gag reflexes, so it's not unusual for a young kid to be able to cry hard enough to vomit. (Probably an evolutionary countermeasure to the otherwise suicidal "Ooh, something on the floor - I wonder what it tastes like!" curiosity of that age.)
Please don't take this as me being a smart-ass, but because I took calc in high school, this section of the material is just all review for me.

Um. "This is review for me, and therefore I feel I am completely justified in snarking on the fucking teacher even though I still can't DO IT, though I have studied it twice. P.S. Don't teach stuff I am not interested in in, because as many times as I am taught it, I will not pay attention and it is ALL YOUR FAULT, you big meanie. P.P.S. Please don't take this THW WRONG WAY. Love, Dumbass"

Honestly, Hil, I would be so pissed..."So if it's all review, why can't you do it? Moron. Zero credit. And I don't think you were being a smart-ass at all; that would imply intelligence. No love, Teach."

Jess beat me to it. Cripes, Hil, I'd get out the +100 Red Pen of Grading for that one.

Yes, zero credit on that question. Also, zero credit on the several other questions he got wrong.

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