I swear that Dahlia's humor is the only thing that gets me through some of the opinions coming out of the Court. I know that I am not alone.
And this is so odd in light of the car search ruling that they handed down yesterday.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

On the subject of nekkidness at school, my kids had swimming today. Afterwards, the swimming teacher took me aside to recount the following.
Boys in changing rooms: GIGGLE GIGGLE GIGGLE GIGGLE GIGGLE!
PE Teacher suspects all may not be well. Goes in.
Teacher: What's all this about?
A: They're laughing at my penis!
Teacher: prepares to crush other boys for wrecking A's self confidence.
A: (clearly insulted) ...because it's so big!
Teacher: ....Er...I think you're going to have the last laugh on that one, mate.

Because books.
A wins! Bwah! Priceless.
On the subject of the zero-tolerance thing, I've found it all a little scary. You hear stories of kindergartens suspended for "sexual harrassment" because they kissed a classmate or hugged a teacher, and it's like, we do remember they are *children*, right? Who are still learning appropriate behaviors?
I feel like I need to send my kids to school with a list of things they cannot say, even in jest.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My sister, and several other kids with asthma, who followed the rules and didn't go to the nurse when the teacher said no, ended up in the ER, several times.
Did the nay-saying teachers pay the ER costs? Because that would have been pretty good behavior change reinforcement.

Tell me about it. A lot of the time, I suspect that Nate's "attitude" in school comes from the combination of a) snarky parents b) a well-developed sense of the absurd and c) the fact that we encourage questioning and debate in our house, even though ultimately, he knows it's a (mostly) benevolent dictatorship.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Grah. One of my wisdom teeth is coming in and poking my gum and irritating me and making it annoying to chew things. My dentist told me to get all four removed a year ago, but I never got around to finding an oral surgeon. And now I need one ASAP! GET THIS EXTRA TOOTH OUT OF MY MOUTH.

Oooh, I had that happen, P-C! It made me feel a lot of sympathy for teething babies. That shit hurts!!

It's not absurdly painful yet, but I want to get it taken care of before it gets to that point. Every now and then, I've had a few days of soreness in one of the quadrants, but it usually went away. But I don't think I ever felt an actual part of a tooth before, or if I did, it wasn't that significant.
