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.

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?

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!).

kidgloves or kid gloves?

artform or art form?

The separation/not separation of words is one of my biggest challenges in language.

Note: I do not need answers on the above.

Kid gloves. Kid is a kind of fabric, I think.

I used to think "kid gloves" meant gloves for a child, until our recent discussion prompted me to google....

Note: I do not need answers on the above.

Oh, like that ever stops us?

Hee--love Conan's closing comment:

Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way.
