Because books.

Jilli = rock star!

I'm pretty sure that's the key to not being that parent.

I think the other key is to realize when your kids are going to have a hard time. No two-year-old is going to sit patiently without a peep through a long formal meal in a restaurant when they're probably used to grazing and walking around to explore stuff while they're eating.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Very cool, Jilli!

Generally speaking we leave the table and go outside so everyone else can finish eating in peace.

I'm pretty sure that's the key to not being that parent.

Exactly. Every kid is going to cry/shriek/whatever at one time or another, and I wouldn't think twice about it.

15 or 16 shrieks later, and they are still sitting there pretending it's not happening, that's a different story.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm pretty sure that's the key to not being that parent.

Oh I get that, it's just that the exit is... NOT pretty.

I just read the Jilli article (yay Jilli) and I am really puzzles by the job that prevents men from wearing cuff links. Unless the job is operating some sort of machinery in which the cuff links could present a hazard.

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

Brave Jilli, putting yourself where the commentariat can get to you.

She's been out there a while.

All of a sudden the front desk staff at the pain doctor are treating me like...like the nurses treat me. When did this become Cheers?

Does this mean they will start providing you your prescriptions in a timely manner? Cause if it does, then Yay.

It's a bank.

I missed the bank part. That is really weird. If I were to costume a banker, with no other info, it would include a striped blue shirt with white color and French cuffs with cuff links

My local bank has a machine for dispensing money to the tellers that looks like it could catch a cufflink .

I hate the doctors here who aren't my doctor. They lack empathy. I don't care how brilliant the exercise is, I can't hold that position without climbing two pain points. Why are you still talking?

But one of the fellows or whatever always sees you before the main man. So I get roughed up.

Typo, these aren't the people who write the script I have a hard time getting my hands on. Thank dog.
