I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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

My bucket list is primarily X-rated. Earning more won't help it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Allyson, are you now leaning towards a Camaro or a Mustang?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Em wants a pair of Sketchers Twinkle Toes for school. THese, to be exact: [link]

I have told her that if she learns how to tie her own shoes - consistently - and without any help, I will get them for her.

"I like my new ballet flats."

Now tagless for your comfort.

Sox, they're Western Chief Neoprene. But I got them at our local Mills Fleet Farm for $45.

Thanks Cashmere!

My bucket list is primarily impossible. Like "become a time traveler", "visit planets in other solar systems with intelligent life" or "stop humanity from doing stupid shit."

Aims, I totally laid down that law, too! We tried on some girls Skechers with velcro. She has this year to practice on her Chuck Taylors to learn to tie her shoes.

Owen has no interest in learning to tie so he just heads straight for the velcro. I REALLY need to work on that with him. He's going into second grade.

RIGHT?!?! I count "Can't tie her own shoes" as my big parenting failure right now.

Also, just in case you missed it, Cash - WE HAVE SECOND GRADERS. WTH???

My idiot husband bought both the kids high-top converse this summer, without consulting me. Casper finally learned to tie her shoes as a result, but Dillo just turned 5! I'm lucky on the days he can get them on his feet by himself, and it makes getting out of the house in the AM a chore every day. I am all in favor of velcro or slip-ons (Vans for the win).
