I'm trying to think...is there anyone to whom I'd complain about their mother? I think not. There are people I avoid, in fact, because I hate their mothers, and I fear it would come up, and I don't want to lie. But even if they started the trash talking, I don't know if I could complain about
my
experiences with their mother.
I thought maybe my sister's friend complained about Mumsy to me because that's the sort of relationship she has with my sis, but my sister's pretty adamant and defensive of the 'rent, so that ain't it. How odd.
I am glad I got a chance to partially defuse it, but the weird thing is--she hasn't complained to my sister, her friend of 15 years. Just me, while we were waiting for our flight out of Kingston together.
My sister maintains...that's just not cricket.
When I was a kid, there was no possibility of walking to a store. The nearest store was a ten-minute drive away. Even my school was out in the middle of farm country. I had no independence until I got a car. Which may explain why having my car with me is so important to me.
I took a stab at my room, but broke out sweating just from hanging up clothes. That does not seem right.
I decided that rice might sound good, so I put some on.
I ate half a piece of dry toast, woohoo.
isn't it a pressure thing?
(he supposedly went to better schools than me...certainly flew more...tell me this is a strategy for the dipshit demographic?
I've said in a couple places that I really hope that that was a failed attempt at dry humor. Because the alternative has apparently found the "too horrible to tolerate" line
I think at our school 4th graders and older are allowed to walk home by themselves, if you sign a form saying so. But I never see any kids not being met by a parent. Casper could do it, but I don't really trust her to wrangle Dillo home.
Kids aren't allowed to walk home by themselves? When I was in elementary school, I think the only parents who picked up kids to walk them home were the parents of kindergarteners who had no older siblings, and even then, most of the ones who didn't have to cross any streets alone walked by themselves after the first few weeks of school.
For our school's location, it makes sense. My kids have to cross a 4-lane major commuting artery (has a light) and second 4-lane street with a fair amount of traffic (to get to a light they would have to go a block past their school and then come back; we cross at a place where there's no light, but I don't think either kid has the judgment to do that by themselves). There's a crossing guard at one intersection on the other side of the school.
Debet,
Lizz Winstead wondered if Romney was a figurehead for Bain and that he really was stupid and that others working at Bain did the intellectual work.
Can those who lived in MA during his governor years clarify things a bit. I think I'm coming around to Lizz's musings.
