In unrelated news, I was at the wedding of friends this weekend and the bride is a sign language interpreter so there was lots of awesome sign language interactions happening. Including a 10-week old staring intently and smiling at one of his moms talking to him with her hands. And I learned how to sign "dumbass" and "vaginally-aged!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It still seems fairly nuts to do to a body that's already got a lot going on, though.
I was going to protest this, but at the same time, I puked a lot after yesterday's race and my tummy still hurts. I laugh at myself. But if she's run a bunch of marathons she's probably much less delicate than me.

"vaginally-aged!"
What does that even mean? Or do I want to know?

Well, it's kind of a long story but, basically, it's a...um...pretend business venture? Based on my friend's one-day experience in the Baltimore city lockup this past spring. The "2nd worst" thing that happened was that she saw one of her cellmates squat and remove some cigarettes (and matches!) from her vagina. So she could smoke them (and trade one for $5). In the retelling of this story, the idea that there must be a market out there for things that are "vaginally-aged" has arisen. There's a fetish for everything, right? (I don't actually want to know!)
(The absolute worst thing that happened was that they called her mom! Although she is over 40, does not live with her parents, and someone-me-had already paid her bail! She'd gotten picked up for a traffic thing, she'd hurt nobody's person or property, so it wasn't a big deal but, still, you don't want to have to explain being in jail to your mom!)

Vaginally aged sounds like a person making fun of the frommagist cave-aged bullshit.
We should learn dumbass, but we do know asshole.
I had to write out Grace's sign vocab the other day and she knows about 70+ words, plus a few stock phrases (it's nice to meet you! good to see you! brother hurt me).

It's just the sign for dumb (which is like touching your hand in a fist to your forehead) and the sign for ass combined.
Making fun of the frommagist cave-aged bullshit
Right! The term "vaginally conditioned" was also brought up.
brother hurt me
aww! Good phrase to know!

I also ordered these from Zenni as sunglasses: [link] They are way pricier than I usually pay for prescription glasses, but I love them!

She tells on Noah all the time. It's her favorite phrase!
Also, Happy Fun Ball which we also have taught her.
Hand in fist to forehead? If you make your hand into an o shape and hit your forehead than you are signing asshole.
