'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Uhg, msbelle. OTOH, any parent who hasn't had that has some sort of freaky kid!
Sniff. Got an email from Taylor. She's invited me to a family dinner/recognition ceremony in a few weeks for her leadership program at Morgan State. Going with her and her dad. Sniffsniff.
Dude, there are TOO many awesome ffistas I have not yet had the pleasure of getting sloshed with. I really gotta pimp KC for this years F2F.
if my new boss was willing to spend any money, I would be in KC next month for a conference. But, I get that he's trying to get a handle on finances and doesn't want to spend unnecessary money. but I WANNA GO!!
msbelle, Owen had a run in two years ago at the gym's daycare with a mother. She said he took a play, plastic knife from their play kitchen and held it to her throat. He was 3 1/2. I suspect this was after he'd seen Pirates of the Caribbean with his dad but whatever. She insisted that he not be in the same playroom with any of her kids at any time.
Gave us 2 months of grief.
Same one as the haircut mom? If not, those two should be friends.
Different mom. Lots of crazy to go around, apparently.
Maybe my kids are crazy magnets like me.
I remember that, Cash! And the haircut mom. Ugh.
Haircut Mom's newest thing is telling her 4 year old daughter that she'll get sick if she eats ham. I understand that they're Jewish and the child will eat anything anyone gives her but that kind of makes me uncomfortable.
She was with a (Jewish!) babysitter who gave her pepperoni pizza because she asked for it! WTF?
Oh, man, that kind of lie is never a good idea. Just sure to backfire at some point. And four is old enough to understand, "This is something we don't eat," even if she doesn't like it.
Oh dear, msbelle.
Goodness knows my kids have said some inappropriate things, but luckily for us the other parents have been understanding. Isaac and his best friends at preschool used to get into fights all the time. Silly boys.
My 9 year old brother once stood on the lava-rock saddle rock in the middle of our front lawn, threw a mallet into the street, and spent a good five minutes screaming "fuck you Joe M-n-! I will kill you! FUCK YOU" to the chagrin of my parents (who didn't get home until the end) and alarm of elderly neighbors.
He and Joe were friends for years after.
