Spending an hour or so listening to Noah and Grace chatter away and belly laugh hysterically ( mostly the latter) is really awesome!
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Maybe he really did mean to do that?

My BiL is insisting on driving from VA to OH tomorrow after rush hour. I can't even. We will not be following his lead.

There is no "after rush hour" the evening before Thanksgiving.

What's the context where people are telling Noah he's Chinese, I wonder? If it's in an insulting or alienating way, no wonder he's objecting.
It comes in the context of a kid saying, "What are you?" and then Noah saying, "I'm white." and then the kid saying, "you look Asian/Chinese whatever"
He brought it up when we were at the post office and he saw a voter registration card that had Korean on it. He asked if it was Chinese.
Our neighborhood has a number of Chinese kids (his close friend from Pre-School is Chinese via Hawaii), but a larger number of Korean, Armenian, Hispanic and White kids.
Noah also told me that he didn't want to have kids because they cut your belly open to take the kid out. I had to point out that boys didn't have babies. Then he said, "Grace can't do it! They can't cut her belly! What about her g-tube?"
SO many misconceptions!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kids don't know shit, man. I mean, they know a million times more than they did last year, or two years ago, but still.
I just saw off a friend who is moving to NYC this weekend. Sad! She's actually moving to Jess's neighborhood, but she is also Jessie, so that may be too confusing, if I were to introduce them....
Also met a guy from Ethiopia, and I was totally like, "I love the food of your people!" immediately. Like an ass. Ah well.

Because books.
"Grace can't do it! They can't cut her belly! What about her g-tube?"
You have to love the brotherly concern, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
There is no "after rush hour" the evening before Thanksgiving.
On the I-95 corridor there is. Leaving at 3pm, NYC to DC takes between 6 and 7 hours because everyone who grew up in New Jersey leaves work early to "beat the traffic." Leaving at 7, it's a speedy 4 or 5. Maybe 5.5 in really bad weather like we're supposed to have tomorrow.
She's actually moving to Jess's neighborhood, but she is also Jessie, so that may be too confusing, if I were to introduce them....
The more the merrier! Jess's for all!
