Occasionally I’m callous and strange
oh no Suzi! Fingers crossed he just decided to go home with a new school friends and didn't think to tell you. *gulp* I took 2 missing kid calls yesterday and both of them were eventually found totally fine, a couple blocks away playing happily. I have to commend all the involved parents for not immediately throttling said children.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Re morals and ethics: I'm actually quite fascinated that it's become so entrenched that they're different things. Strictly, they're not; Merriam-Webster, for instance, lists onee definition of morals as "ethics". Within moral philosophy, they're still used entirely interchangeably. And, of course, in derivation they're simply the Latin and the Greek for exactly the same thing.
Nonetheless, so many people use them as if they meant something different, and when they do, I'll recognise certainly recognise that they're drawing some kind of private/public internal/external distinction. English may well be evolving here, in that "if people are wrong for long enough, they become right" kind of way.

Whew. DON'T DO THAT, CJ!
