Timelies all!

Well, there's been some difficulties in the evenings with Mr. S. He's hit other kids in the unit, and there's been a few times getting to bed was a challenge.(Apparently he told a staff member "Mommy and Daddy let me stay up until midnight". Haha, nice try kid) This is probably not unusual in the adjustment period.

In other news, I overhead someone mispronounce a word so wrong that it made me question my assumptions. Like, Maine Coons originated in Maine, right? Maine Coon like the state, right?

Yes, of course like the state. Thank god.

I am staring at the word trying to figure out how else you could pronounce it.

"mahn"

Ah yes, the French cousin of our humble Maine Coon.

The kids on tonight's Jeopardy had a couple of the kind of mispronunciation that comes from only reading a word, and it was cute. (Albu-quirky, for one)

Albu-quirky

That's adorable.

Hm. Should I change Miss Kitty’s name to Mademoiselle Chat? I don’t think I can count on being able to spell that consistently. I’ll stick with claiming it’s a Gunsmoke reference.

Shrift I have been there before, wondering if I’m the crazy one but no.
