Occasionally I’m callous and strange

lots of ~ma for A getting through this .

Laura, my experience with SATS was that bright slackers do alarmingly well on them, often allowing them to get into excellent schools from which they flunk because of those lacking study skills. Of course, that was more than a decade ago so they might have become more balanced in favor of those with decent study skills.

“Not dead yet!”

Parenting fail, Alabama style:

An Alabama woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police say she let her daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of their van.

Albertville Police spokesman Sgt. Jamie Smith said the 37-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after police received a call about a minivan on a state highway with a child riding on top.

Smith said the woman told police the box was too big to go inside the van, and that her daughter was inside the box to hold it down.

Smith said the mother told officers it was safe because she had the box secured to the van with a clothes hanger.

What. the. fuck.??

People confuse the hell out of me sometimes.

This is why I sometimes think people should have to have parenting licenses before being allowed to have kids. (In my version of it, anyone applying for a parenting license would have to work in my field for 3 years, in addition to course work). I take back every less than stellar thing I ever said about my mother. Obviously she was a queen among mothers.

Those are neat, beth, but I like this (from the same etsy seller) even better.

Dylan fell asleep for his nap VERY late today, and is still asleep. It's past 5. I should wake him, but that would involve getting up and away from the computer.

[eta: Opened the door to check on him and found this. (Asleep on the floor wearing his rubber rain boots.) Definitely too adorable to wake up!]

That's the sort of thing I'm worried I would do if I ever had kids. I'd have some random idea one day and it would seem like a good idea but actually it's one of those things that people look at you and wonder how you figured out how to procreate at all. Like getting my kids' names tattooed on them so they can't get lost, or soemthing.

I probably should make sure and never get pregnant.

Jars, the safe choice of tattoo is your cell phone number.
