Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got the facebook love this morning as well.

I wonder what it was about us attracted Gus to begin with. Were we giving off a particular rube-vibe?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Jess, that reminds me I sort of have a work question for you. Will insend.

Because books.

so I have no idea where this is coming from

Maybe now that Aeryn is REAL, and he's that much older, he just wanted to know if more babies would be forthcoming. I love his worry. Cutiehead.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

"But Mommy, WHAT IF AERYN GROWS UP?!?!?!!!"

"Then it will be your turn to make the babies, honey!" (No? Too soon?)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

at which point he got very concerned and asked "But Mommy, WHAT IF AERYN GROWS UP?!?!?!!!"

It might be as well to have a contingency plan in place.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

But Mommy, WHAT IF AERYN GROWS UP?!?!?!!!"

Heeeee!

I want bacon cheese egg cups. I actually have the ingredients, but I'd have to have the energy to go make them. Breathing =/= energy. Plus, I'm kinda on a roll with some work stuff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I also LOVE BREATHING! I do it, like, every day.

I also have the other thing in common, but I don't really care.

I skipped work today all wiped out post-vacation, and the SO got nearly there and the wagon overheated again. So. Guess we need to get that in the shop.

Oh, I must go to this: [link]

And maybe I'll bring my daughter. The DH will be in Sri Lanka, so his loss.

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

For some reason, I now have two co-workers whose wives send me Jamaica-related food. My first reflex is to assume I'm exceptionally pathetic, but my second reflex is "Gimme!" and my third is "Thanks!"

I now have dried jackfruit. I didn't even know that was a thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hooray for breathing! I am always in favor of that one.

Aw, Dylan. What if, indeed!
