This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Older kids dad was ineffectually like, "oh, you shouldn't push the baby, don't do that, you should stop" and his kid ignored him.

Oh, that pisses me off! I know kids are going to do stuff like that but the least the parents can do is TRY to teach them not to be little jerks.

K claims it was a clotheslining because the older kid was interested in piling driving into the two littler ones and he was leaning back with his feet raised. She claims she should have gotten him at the waist.

THIS is what happens when mom plays hockey is all I'm saying.

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

Yeah, parenting fail there on the big boy's team.

I dreamt last night I went to Arby's for one of their roast "burgers." I think that means I should sate my craving.

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

Another vote for you get to keep your playground. You were taking care of your kid, and they were failing to raise theirs.

Christopher almost had a bumper sticker made for me that said, "My hockey mom can kick your soccer mom's ass."

Cash, K would love that!

Oh K needs that sticker!

I intercepted a number of kids, sometimes iffily, in the course of being a nanny and got off free. Parenthood trumps that.

I think it should be a kid shirt: "My hockey mom kicks your soccer mom's ass" makes more sense as worn by a kidlet.

“Not dead yet!”

Also, I should remember that I need to make Chuck Icons.

Yes. Yes, you should.

Oh no, ita. K is thinking about taking up Krav. Just imagine what havoc she'll wreak on the playground.
