Wawkward.
I just like saying it.
Sounds like a directive from the Minitry of Silly Walks.

On a totally different subject, I need kid's book recommendations for a specific situation.
I have a client couple, two women, raising two adopted children. The kids' mother is deceased and the father is not in the picture.
The girl is 8, understands the situation and does not talk about the dad to the boy. He's 5 and getting to the place where there is some confusion about answering questions about having two moms and where is his dad, etc.
The moms are looking for books to help with the conversation.
What's good out there?

I really want to whop some sense into a 16-almost-17 year old boy right now. Yeah, the biological mother that abandoned you at a flophouse when you were 7 is really gonna contest custody in another state when she can't afford a lawyer and take your juvie-felony self on now. Don't pull this manipulative, expensive shit on the parents who've been fighting for you most of your life, even when they didn't know how bad it was.

I think teenage+ biggo issues makes more stupid.

Video of child afraid of puppets: DO NOT WANT!
I was a child afraid of puppets. (Side note: an italicized "I" looks really funny in html.) Puppets are scary! They have unreasonably large mouths which do not coincide with their speaking! They lead complicated lives which always have some sort of message. Mysterious people come out of the curtains and bow! Irrational!
Wait! Is the video of me? 'Cause that's just upsetting.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

We've replaced Liese's musical instruments with a room full of puppets.
Aargh! Did I not mention my last singing, dancing anxiety nightmare? What are you trying to do to me? I ask you!

On reflection, it occurs to me that I say "as a child I was afraid of puppets" but I don't know that I'm less frightened of them now. It's just that fewer people try to forcibly expose me to puppets these days.
