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

Dylan spent a LOT of last summer calling one of my neighbors Bubbe. And she does look enough like my mom that I can see where he was coming from. But it was still pretty mortifying.
(And saying "Oh, but my mom was only 24 when she had me, and she's very athletic and dyes her hair so it's not like he's calling you old!" while true, is not so much an option. Because, really, not helpful.)

That happened to my mom in the grocery store once and she did say "Wow, that kid must have a young grandma."

(delurking here, too; wow, this may become habit forming...)
Two days ago, whilst picking up my daughter up from preschool, 2 other little girls approached and asked if I was [daughter's] grandma or mom. When I answered that I was her mom, they responded as though I'd just settled a bet. I'm not even 40 yet. Sigh.
Hugs to thems that needs 'em. Stoopid Fridays.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We still talk about the time my littlest brother told my great-Aunt Ida, with great joy, that her arms "waggled underneath." Luckily, she was not only was not offended, she had him sit on her lap so he could waggle them himself.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
That means they think you are the source of all comfort, hugs and warm laps, cookies and cocoa, bedtime stories and puppet shows!
Having read these words, I was struck with a sudden and violent yearning for all these things.
Solange, it is totally habit forming. In an awesome way.
Go great-Aunt Ida!

It's cold and dreary out, I'm exhausted, and I just want to go home, curl up under my afghan, and fall asleep.
Yet, I am here at work, trying to get through regulations without dozing off at my desk.
Soooooo sleeeeeeepppppyyyyyyy...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
omg, I am Kathy. (except I am working on meeting minutes).
I have to leave for a rushed out of office errand in about 15 minutes, then afterwork errands - Friday night being the late night is necessary, but no good when I'm tired. season change/earlier darkness is not helping.
