She is seven.

Nah, it's pretty adult in various ways, as I recall.

Same here and there are certain things I am just not ready to explain yet.

Pro: Good experience, probably a good memory even if she doesn't know what it all Means yet. Con: Might be hard to explain that they say stuff she can't say in school and at Grandma's. Analysis: It's probably good I don't have kids right now.

I find your analysis faulty in that you have listed pros and cons and gave it thought.

And no, she already gives the flipping hairstylist ALL the lowdown on Doctor Who. The last thing I need is for her to give someone a dissertation on The Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy.

I was chaperone to a 7 year old at the birth of her youngest brother. That was fine. VM? Some stuff will fly over, but there might be new concepts you aren't ready to broach (I dunno, never seen VM.) It is amazing what you think they miss and then it sneaks up on your ass. Childbirth is One Thing. OTOH, sometimes early exposure percolates in healthy ways.

Also, I never saw the whole thing. Not all the way through. Much more exciting than the school-board meetings I got dragged to when I was her age. But maybe in a few years. (I think that would be hard, because moms make decisions eleven-million times a day...if all of them were that considered, we'd all die.)

Aims, I've never seen VM, so caveat, but having read the book, which I think is a transcription, I'd say don't take Em. There's some stuff in there (about rape ) that was very disturbing to me, and I'm old and experienced.

The Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy.

That's my monologue! Heh. Possibly the most fun I had on stage in the history of ever.

Well, I love happy vaginas, but I don't want all that responsibility on myself for other vaginas' happinesses. That's some heavy stuff, you know?

I just had an MRI, and for the first time in two decades of the scan...almost felt claustrophobic. I mean, I understood how people could freak out in them (is that why there's a breeze the whole time? It made my nose itch), and for some reason by the time I came out my eyes were bloodshot, and I looked like a wreck.

My mother's got her CAT scan test done--and her liver looks fleshy and well-behaved and non tumourous. She finds out about the blood test, which should be her last test, next week on the day before her birthday. My sister was planning her own 40th shenanigans, but she's putting a hold on that until we get the news. She still wants to long weekend with friends and family, but I guess she'll feel differently when she does it? Not sure, but whatever works for her brain and her stress level.

I'm going to chalk up some of my high ambient stress level of the past week or so to be related knowing we're getting News.

One of the developers, the unknowing LOLly developer missed work today. With a headache. At which point I jumped up and down and said see! Other people do it too!

Okay, perhaps some of that just happened inside my head. But she's exactly the sort of sharey that will tell you exactly why she was late.ill, leaving early all sorts of things I'm clinging close to my breast.
