I may still be in "which of the following statements is best supported by the above paragraph" mode. I gotta say, posting here was excellent preparation for that section!
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I took a nap that I very possibly needed. And I got the Avengers DVD at the library, so I can watch the extras that I've wanted to see.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
In my experience of boys, lots of noise is the inevitable result of fun happening.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think once you get your certificate and badge (there is a badge, isn't there?), -t, you can come and examine my company. We're very compliant.

We don't need no stinking badges.
Or maybe "we" do, I really don't know.
I did say I would be okay with working in the LA office, so who knows, that could maybe happen...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Well 1 thing has become clear. They had discussed having nerf gun fights, but I had not been warned, so every kid comes with bags full of nerf stuff. None of mac's nerf stuff is out and ready. The back yard (where I would like them to play) is not cleared of dog poop, or mowed.
We will be having a discussion of many things. He is already mumbling that he is in trouble.
Oh and great, he just brought me a box that came that he had hidden from me. SInce we had already had a discussion about opening present early before I was home to monitor it - he just opened it anyway and then hid it from me.
Well, at least he brought it out now, as he said, "since you are gonna find out anyway..." I guess that is a semi-step closer to the right thing than just hiding it forever and magically having new stuff. TURDS all kids are TURDS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
TURDS all kids are TURDS.
Yes they are.

Does anyone know if Bad Robot has anything to do with Iron Giant? I just hit pause on the movie after Hogarth is trying to not get followed home, and the last dialogue was "Bad robot!" which I reflexively repeated without being sure why.

How do people have multiple boys?
Go deaf. Which would explain the volume at which my brother and SIL watch tv.Or have a really big yard and force them to live in it. At least that's my theory.

And now I'm eating mushrooms and the first local asparagus of the season, sauteed in olive oil.
