You know a discussion has gone off the rails where someone feels obliged to comment, "Richard there are many viable policies of intentional inflation that don't require genocide."
You want to meet the real me now?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Something about the way the bassinets are in such straight lines, with all the babies facing the same way, is freaking me out a bit. I can't explain exactly why.
It looks like they'll all in the Matrix. It looks like a human factory, where top-quality humans are produced on a tight schedule.
I would not be a good mom. I watch my BFF deal with her obstinate daughter and I know I would just lose it if I had to listen to such whining and high-pitched screeching all the time.
I think the baby was trying desperately to bond with the doctor to keep from being named Heaven spelled backward.
Who started that trend? I remember it being a brand-new idea. Now there are probably a hundred girls in America named Nevaeh. I don't get it - when we played out records backwards, it was Satanic, but spelling heaven backwards is great?

I think I remember reading that it was some rock star who started the trend. Maybe the guy from Creed? Something like that.

I did too. It's a line that always makes me cry, although less so when said by a fly.

Nevaeh is actually the 35th most popular girl's name (in 2011), with 6030 babies named that. The miss-spelling, Neveah, is also in the top 1000, and 290 girls were named that in 2011.
Apparently some Christian rock dude named Sonny Sandoval named his daughter that in 2000, and tens of thousands of people thought it was a good idea. [Edit: after watching his appearance on MTV Cribs.]

How do you moms (and dads, but it seems to be a mom thing with my friends) a) get your kids to do the homework and b) not explodiate with rage.
Noah does some at after care and some at home. Grace does all her homework at home. I just basically sit at the table with them and tell them what to write and when. there are high fives with each page finished.
Noah does not like homework at all. Yet we have a DK math for first grader's book and he has done, oh, maybe 80 pages of it in the past week. And then he decided to make his own. So I think we might say, "If you finish your homework then you can work on your math book." Grace is not so motivated nor as able to work independently.
I bought 3 yards of fabrics to make hospital gowns for Grace. If we have to continue to go to the hospital, then she will at least get to wear what she likes and have stylish fabrics -- she chose rockets for one, owls for a second and then a cool remnant that has woodcuts on it.
