Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know if I should mention it to his teacher at our IEP meeting this afternoon or if it will make me look like a nervous mom. Or worse, just a mean person.

I don't think so -- both of those sound like specific out-of-line things for the kid to do, and the teacher should know.

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?

Is it wrong that I can't stand one of Owen's classmates?

No. Unfortunately, some kids are just unlikable.

I don't know if I should mention it to his teacher at our IEP meeting this afternoon

Yes, you should. Let her know about the behavior you're seeing and that you're concerned about Owen. That's totally fair. And, she needs to know because if there is a pattern of behavior, and it sounds like there is, he may be in need of some interventions.

Because books.

I'm willing to bet these aren't the only incidents with that kid, either, Cash. Behavior like that tends to be across the board.

Yep yep yep.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Okay, even freakier is that she looks like a sexed-up Julie Kavner.

Can they program it to giggle in the voice Marge Simpson uses when Homer gets frisky?

Marge is totally hot. Especially when she was a policewoman.

I am riding the cholesterol express this morning. Just had a fried egg sandwich with bacon on crunchy, whole grain toast.

It was good!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I agree with Amy and ChiKat, Cash.

I think I need a do-over for this morning. Several things aren't working right, plus my boots aren't right with this dress.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

700 pound bear, eluding capture, terrorizing Lake Tahoe, snacking at the fridge.

"I have a refrigerator in the garage. He opened it up, drank a gallon of orange juice, opened the freezer above and munched two frozen pizzas and snacked on frozen chicken," Philpott said. "He broke all the shelves and racks out of the refrigerator, bit into some fruit punch and squirted it all over everywhere, then dragged the trash can outside and took a crap the size of a basketball on the front lawn."

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm willing to bet these aren't the only incidents with that kid, either, Cash. Behavior like that tends to be across the board.

I'm tempted to ask, "is he a little asshole to everyone, or just us?" I'm going to mention it to his classroom teacher just as a concern and see what she says.
