piling on the ~ma Suzi.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Yeah, he was found, walking home from school over 2 hours late. His dad found him. I was home talking with 2 police officers to file a missing person's report.
My dear, darling child decided at lunch today to see if he could join the cast of Guys and Dolls and had been in the drama room the whole time. I had stopped by the drama room when I was searching the school. I didn't see him through the window and I didn't hear his voice. Plus he had never mentioned the play to me, has never done a play in the past, so I didn't open the door to look further.
He has gotten an ear full from his dad and me. Plus hearing his sister cry with frustration. Now he is working on home work and I've put myself on time out in my room to calm down.
Thanks for all the ~ma.
