Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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

What to do? We can 1) tell him tonight and introduce the K teacher (who is very nice) and elide the whole uncertainty thing; 2) keep pretending he is going to the old school and tell him either when the situation is settled or the day before school starts, whichever comes sooner; 3) say to hell with this insanity and switch him back to our old school.

I'm with Jesse. Go with 1) with the introductions and elisions.

I concur with the group.

I'm never sure with Dylan how much information is enough. If I tell him something is certain and then plans change, he gets completely wigged out. If I tell him something is uncertain, he worries about ALL the options. So I would introduce him to the K-1 teacher and then if they hire a 1st grade teacher after all, deal with that separately.

Hey, do I win some sort of prize because one of the comments on the CNN article was about how I'm fat? I think I should get a prize.

not your mom's socks.

your prize is a giant cluestick for use on trolls of your choice.

ETA. Really, there should be a troll bingo board.

Link me again so I can go comment about how gorgeous and luscious you are?

Who is responsible for the chimp feeding the baby tiger on Good Things? Because I literally just squeaked out loud when I saw it. The cute, it is too much. The chimp is so happy (in his little jean shorts)!

I was reading mostly for amusement, but yeah. And the "fat" comment doesn't even really bug me, but that's the point where I went "Okay, I'm out. You people are boring".

Awww, thanks Amy! Clicky-link: [link]
