I sometimes get into YOU ARE WRONG ON THE INTERNET!!! mental loops.
Someone is always being WRONG ON THE INTERNET. I feel like the Batman of Internet-wrongness.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Uh, guys, wasn't this discussion started by someone who was worried that her kid *wasn't* reading? Maybe the recurring "I was a spontaneous early reader and/or misunderstood super-nerd" conversation is a little insensitive under the circumstances?
To counterbalance, my husband learned to read in school (like, 1st-2nd grade), was a good but not stellar student (he was the B+/A- guy) and now has a PhD in engineering.

P.M., I am pretty sure that's way different than always wanting to be the first to answer a question in class.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Wrong people on the Internet are a cowardly and superstitious lot.

That is why it is my sacred mission to stop them!

Hubby will sometimes correct me even if I'm right, because I wasn't right in the right way, ie, I approached a problem in a way he wouldn't have gone. This ties into the "Don't you want to be the best you can possibly be? I want you to be the best you can be, because I love you so much."
He's so damned lucky I didn't grow up in the kind of violence-approved family he did, because I know where to hit him for maximum effect.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wrong people on the Internet are a cowardly and superstitious lot.
Yes. They worship Tino.

flea, I think some chimed in with late reading stories, if not their own, then their kiddos. And now we've moved on to a different topic of being a know-it-all?
No? Will Aims chime in if we've scared her off with nerd stories?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
flea - thank you for looking out for me. Another thing I love about us! We've got each other's backs, always.
The "spontaneous readers" along with the "late readers" stories go even more toward my needing to know that every kid is different and Emeline is not me or Joe. She is Emeline and will do her thing (whatever that may be) when she is good and ready. Which is exactly like her parents.

And speaking of nerds, Conan has officially quit (and has taken off the kidgloves!).
