I have already failed school-age parenting.
You did not fail!! They failed at clear communication!
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

There is a dude behind me taking notes on an ipad. @@

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think you win at not being a helicopter parent. And reading comprehension.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I think it will be the last time you ever enter a school without your child and you should revel in it.

Don't worry, Ellie still has a chance at a normal life.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I think Ellie will not only survive this, she will be absolutely fine.
ImemememeNews, I ended up calling in sick today because when I left school last night (at 9:30!!), a piece of my car was hanging off the underside. I thought it was part of my exhaust system. Took it to the shop today and it turned out to be a loose heat shield (I don't know what that is, that's just what I was told). They put it back on and tightened it up and I was on my merry way in 10 minutes. Best part? Cost=$0. Yay!!! Easiest car repair ever!!

This needed to be repeated.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Stephanie, that's the sort of thing that happens to me all the time. I'll do what seems obvious to me given the instructions, and everyone else will have done something else, and they'll be right and I'll think, wtf, am I a dummy? Frustrating.
Isn't a heat shield the part that kept falling off Serenity?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Zenkitty hit the nail on the head. I hate feeling stupid because I followed the directions.
