Ugh Kat, I'm sorry you've had such a day! Sending love and good health vibes to Grace, and good coping vibes to the rest of you.

We had back to school night too. I like Franny's new teacher.

And at the risk of sounding random, that peanut butter proves Creationism video makes me want cry. Because damn, these people are so desperate to believe despite all the evidence to the contrary that they just make shit up!! It's like the people who can actually convince themselves that Obama is going to impose Sharia law. Based on what evidence exactly? How many Sharia-based laws has he tried to pass in the past 4 years?!? NONE! How many times has he invoked the Koran during his speeches?!? But see here, take this jar of peanut butter...

Ten years ago, my friend Pablo and his friend Johnny Mac and I were out drinking in Santa Monica. This is when I had the miata still. They had walked to the bar and wanted a ride home. I pointed out that I'd love to help but it would take a shuttling of them both back and forth. Pablo and Johnny Mac became friends in college where they both played Div IA volleyball so these were tall men.

JM got into the passenger seat and I drove. We put Pablo in the trunk.

Today I feel forty because we all have kids and mine are in school and Johnny Mac is running for State Rep in Pennsylvania. As a Republican.

Also, it's hard to wrangle Noah into the top bunk when he is asleep.

I think I've met Pablo and will now carry around the picture of him huddled in your trunk. Hilarious.

We did have to leave the trunk open otherwise he wouldn't fit.

Johnny Mac was about 5 inches taller than Pablo. And played basketball not volleyball, now that I think of it.

Anyhow, hilarious!

Is the creationism and peanut butter anything like Kirk Cameron and the banana?

I hope things with Grace improve fast, Kat. I could wish the same for your classroom, and well, I do. But I don't know how much that's going to help.

Zen, good on cicadas and not crazy stalkers.

I don't think I ever had a towel. I haven't been able to find it for a while, at least.

Is the creationism and peanut butter anything like Kirk Cameron and the banana?

It displays the same breathtaking lack of understanding of either life sciences or logical thought. Rather more astounding in the lack of biological understanding, but I give the bananas the edge in the lack of logical thought and general WTFery.

I would just like to say at this point that if the fact that the match between the number of ridges on the outer surface of a banana and the number of joints in our fingers is evidence of intelligent design, then pineapples are evidence of a cruel and vengeful god.

It's like the people who can actually convince themselves that Obama is going to impose Sharia law. Based on what evidence exactly? How many Sharia-based laws has he tried to pass in the past 4 years?!? NONE!

It's sort of like how he's trying to take away all of our guns with his absolutely zero attempts at or mentions of gun control. So, you know, FACTS.

then pineapples are evidence of a cruel and vengeful god.

They are delicious and will magically make your skin soft, smooth and pretty. With sugars and acid though. Not god or magic.

We have swapped twins so now I am in the ER. I forgot a sweater in my haste, so i am freezing. I am also a bad mom for dragging Noah out of bed.

Since I have been here I have also refused to allow them to transfer Grace to Santa Monica by threatening to take her AMA.
