Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks, Stephanie. He's acting just like his typical self now.

Franny is conked out on the couch. Poor thing. Day was too much fun. Our neighbors have a giant trampoline (with netting) in the front yard. Franny, predictably, finds it irresistable.

egad, there's school tomorrow, isn't there? I need to pack her lunch.

Because books.

Burrell, if I had little ones still, the Natasha Richardson thing would have freaked me RIGHT out. But Sara's five and a half now, and the last time she bonked her head like that was a while ago. All three kids did it several times, though. They're definitely built to take some lumps growing up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Trixie Belden's mother used milk-soaked bread in her burgers.

Burrell, did he get a lump on his head? Is that a product of a squishier skull? Because I stopped growing knots as a response to head trauma somewhere short of puberty. I always wondered why.

Given the headbutts I've gotten from the nephews and various other littles, always surprises me that their heads are still bendy. I mean, I know, but it sure as hell doesn't feel like it when they collide with your cheekbone....

My skin is being really icky and blotchy and shit. I'm hoping it isn't the water, just something else.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's because they were poor!

No lumps, ita, but it was the back of his head. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Isn't milk-soaked bread the secret to good meatloaf and meatballs? Although like Jesse I tend to think a good burger is nothing but meat, salt, and heat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was about to type this exact thing! The milk-soaked bread helps to keep meatballs light. But that's not a texture you want in a good burger.

Now that it's summer I want to start grinding my own burger meat for the grill. Mmmmm, burgers.

Yes, this. Although I agree on the burgers, I do like a little chopped fresh onion in them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's how we'd make ketleti - milk-soaked bread, ground beef, egg binder, rolled in bread crumbs. It's a flavor I like, but it's not a burger.

Yeah, I'm not opposed to a little onion. Or worcestershire sauce. Mmmm.
