"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Allyson, if it helps any, I got this note from Owen when I cleaned out his backpack this afternoon. WTF. He's FIVE. FIVE.

I like that on Flicker right underneath it says. Would you like to comment? As if I'm being asked to judge a 5 yr. old's perceived injustices.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You could comment on his spelling....

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We're Buffistas. It's what we do.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm tucking this away for guilt material later. I'm extremely proud of his written communication skills. The early adolescence, not so much.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I can only imagine what rooined his life. From my experience as a 5 year old, I'm guessing it's something he thinks will make him a social outcast and pariah! for the rest of his life.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, I zeroed in on the "Love, Owen" part too. Although it can't feel good in the slightest. We're just still recovering from the first "I HATE YOOOOOOOOUUUUUU" from a few months ago.

I was stunned, but came back with, "Well, I don't like you much right now. Still love you, but like you? Nope. You're a pretty unlikable little twerp right now."

It immediately turned the fury into stunned disbelief.

When I was volunteering in his classroom this morning, his teacher put him in another group and he didn't get to do my center first. It wasn't even my fault! I didn't choose the groups. But somehow, I was supposed to overrule his teacher and make it better.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Distant aunties only get good notes. Works for me.

That note is killing me.
