Except, well, he fell. I didn't check to see the last time he'd achieved tree safely, but bully for him at 70 DOING STUPID PHYSICAL THINGS.

This seems to be a certain variety of father, as Cass & Gloom's anecdotes reveal. As has been documented here (fell off a cliff in a CAVE during S&R training being my personal favorite,) I have one too.

My nephews will get to tell about their father the explosives inexpert. And racerdriver.

The elder nephew seems to be fond of his baby brother, though the wee one isn't too interactive yet. No toy stealing. However, he is practicing for siblinghood. He opined, just once in over two weeks, that T maybe should go back in mommy's tummy and tape be used to keep him there. He wasn't mad, barely even disgruntled. It was quite random.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

He opined, just once in over two weeks, that T maybe should go back in mommy's tummy and tape be used to keep him there.
I think I just hurt my tummy laughing. No, I know I did. Who knew belly laughing was so belly intensive?

That is hysterical.

I would have loved to see my SIL's face when she heard this. Cause she so does not like being pregnant.

I'd like to share my dorkitude: I think, not counting the first time, I've managed to reread WTVPPLTL (WVPPLL?) at least 3 times, in various order.

Poor D, to be supplanted, even for a short bit, by T must be rough. My dad is physical enough, but I rarely hear about his mishaps. THANK GOD.

Okay, what do I need to pack for my overnight hospital stay tonight?

Please to help me nap more!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ALLYSON! Update your web page to say your book is available in some places!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Back from NJ. Live Earth was melty hot, and we had the obligatory drunk jackass in front of us getting on people's cases for not standing up during all the sets, but it was great all the same.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't know how!

Seriously, Monique does all of that for me.

Kat, I just spent the afternoon with your daughter. We read Tikki Tikki Tembo until she fell asleep and let go of my finger. She's really working that binky, BTW.

D's remarkably understanding about it, so far. He'll come up for something, discover that the person is in the middle of changing/feeding T and nod soberly and say he'll wait. He does have the experience of his mom running an in-home daycare when he was younger, so that probably helps some. He's a very independent/self-driven child anyway, so...

Of course, the bloom may be off that rose by early August.

YAY! Binky! I'm so grateful that you were there. I learned from Noah's occupational therapist that we should be cuddling her. So this morning I lowered the guard on one side and slid an arm underneath and behind her and put my hand around her and sort of craddled her there without lifting her up.

Did she have her eyes open for you, paperdol?

Someone is a rocking auntie!
