I'm evil. I'm schooling my T's friend in online behavior. Specifically, her boy. Heheheh.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Aw, it was a Beatles ,Dear Prudence reference. Love that boy!

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

And now we've got a broken bedroom window.

For future reference: teenager, plus toddler plus Dad who concedes to requests for "Just one more!" game of chase equals broken window.

Oh, it's so important to stop before that "just one more." You can feel the chaos energy reaching its maximum expression before it happens.

Oooh, I've been there, and they weren't my kids. Sorry.

Can I just reiterate how HILARIOUS it is to be texting (via fb) with my girl's boy who I've never met and being all mommy/big sister? Cracks me up. Like really LOL.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My god, Tivo found me 1987 A Different World. While Marisa Tomei and Lisa Bonet were still on it, before Dwayne Wayne became cool. Whither Dawnn Lewis?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I haven't seen Dawnn Lewis since "The Tenth Kingdom". Wait. I think I saw her on a TV show about 5 years ago. But that's it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

ita, that's appalling! I mean, excellent how it turned out, but scary as hell that it happened at all, and frustratingly bad that no one was going to tell you. I'm very glad he's okay.

sara, I remember when you accepted temporary custody of Mr. Kitty and were concerned that his people were going to demand him back on their return. He sure lucked out with you. I hope he enjoys every day he has left.

Also, those bannisters look awesome!

Sorry for the broken window, David. And yes, everyone needs to know how to stop before "just one more" leads to tears.

Thanks, it's okay. Emmett didn't fall out the window and the glass didn't hit the women walking her dog.

I just spent 20 mins sweeping the sidewalk so no puppies get glass in their feet. Do you think they'll appreciate my efforts by pooping at the curb?

Emmett's feeling very contrite though it was really more my fault than his since I didn't rein things in when I knew it was spinning out of control. He's really just not used to having an adult body, but that's where he is now.

Not exactly a teachable moment but sort of a future leverage deal: "Remember the broken window? Let's chill out now."

Glad everyone's okay. Once or twice when I was growing up, the broken window was because a brother put his fist through it while fighting with another brother.

Ohman. I wish my cousin's place had a bathtub. RSI pain is bad and showers aren't cutting it. Tried to do a drop-in at Berkeley Sauna yesterday but they were all booked up. Oh well...Just two more days 'til Harbin.
