Just saw RED. Damn, that's a fun movie.
Helen Mirren with a big gun and John Malkovich bringin' the crazy. Don't get much better.
And Shir, you're a total rock star.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And until the kid does reach that sophisticated age, I'd probably just say, "We have to follow rules for our safety like not standing on tables, and we have to listen to teachers/lunch aides/administrators, but you already had your punishment at school, and that is enough."
I was being a bit flippant, obviously-- I'm pretty much a hardliner about following rules that are about the safety of the greater good. When the kids were little and full of the eternal "Why?" (Which, actually, they still are, but for different reasons) my answer would be phrased back at them in the form of a question that was designed to make them think. In this case, it would've been something along the lines of "Well, what do you think would happen if everyone stood on the tables and started singing and ignored the teachers?"
Generally, they'd figure out why that wasn't such a good idea on their own, so I figure it was an approach that worked at least the majority of the time. Nate, in particular, was singled out by his teachers this quarter as being an exceptional role model for the younger kids which, as you might guess, made me a seriously proud momma.

Congratulations, Shir. Also, mazel tov, though I probably say it funny.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yay Nate!

Chocolate croissant: I'm giving myself a bloodsplatter manicure, zombie style. I just hope the red and green doesn't come out Christmasy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
In response to a liberal-type link I posted in facebook, my brother just said, "Tea Party is the only group that has a real clue!"
....
I just don't know what to say to him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just don't know what to say to him.
Yeah, me nether.
Although you could ask him what specific programs he'd cut to balance the budget.

BWAH! I had the same thought, Connie!
