Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Rousing her to slip her into PJs has resulted in a storm of sobbing, so I'm off for the time being.

She got so overwrought she puked in the sink.

I was the least sympathetic dad ever as I don't think getting into PJ's is worth puking over.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have to agree. But then, Owen was running around in a cape, his socks and underwear earlier and called himself "Sock Monkey."

Emmett used to escape from the bath and run up and down the hall yelling, "Nudie Boy!"

I promise I will never mention this to his potential girlfriends.

Side note: I made him listen to his voicemail greeting which was from before his voice dropped. It was only two years ago but it sounds nothing like him now. He changed it.

Oh, have I mentioned? Emmett is now taller than me. In September, when we measured him at his physical he was still 5'9". In November, he's more than 5' 10".

Just tell Matilda. Someday. I would gleefully dig out the album from my brother's nudie phase for his gf. Hell, for his sons. . Adult rainboots and a straw cowboy hat. Aw yeah.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Cash, May I point you to Matthew 7:3-5 for Biblical support for "It's called hypocracy, asshole." That's just ridiculous.

Did she call you a polar bear?

She didn't call us anything. She just, rather sadly, said it was hard to calm down.

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

your example probably isn't the right one for the Penn State situation

I think the idea that "well, no one's making a big deal of it, so I won't make a big deal of it" seems to apply here as well, is all.

Did I mention my mother went out today? She went out today! She's not driving herself yet, but she made them take her grocery shopping. God, my mother is so much the best one of the four of us. This is...hard.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Poor Matilda.

Yay ita!Mom for going out!

Devil's food cake is frosted and in the fridge, and I am off for bed.
