Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How many toddlers suffer brain damage from falling their own height? Aren't they made bendy for a reason?

Bendy AND bouncy - the combination of baby fat and not-quite-hardened bones makes toddlers pretty ideally suited for the minor injuries that come with learning to walk. (And really, I'm pretty sure your average prehistoric cave was a harsher environment than your average living room. If we evolved from toddlers who didn't all kill themselves tripping over sharpened sticks, I have every confidence that modern toddlers can learn to navigate a fucking coffee table.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That dress is adorable!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am thinking very seriously about getting my MLS. I saw a job where the dollars make the degree look more interesting, so it might be time.

But the websites are making my head hurt.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Breathing in that sweet new human smell. Don't they smell delicious?

Even after they're not so very new anymore, their heads still smell nice.

You know how sensitive to touch the bottom of your nose and the stretch of skin between it and your upper lip is? My favorite thing with kid-on-lap was to nuzzle-smell the scalp and the hair. Positively dizzying. Those endorphins kept me from launching one or the other of mine into orbit on more than one occasion, I'm sure.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My current favorite smell is the smell of the kids just after they come in from outside. They smell breezy and delicious.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Same student keeps sending me more and more detailed questions about the final exam. All of them are essentially, "Will you ask this question?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tell him that in the multiverse theory, every possible question will be asked somewhere....

Maybe that will confuse him and he'll go away.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

"will you ask this question"
Oh that is FAR too easy of a question to ask. Though it might make an interesting ice breaker question to warm up your brains. I'm not sure. Best to study EVERYTHING for the final.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My current favorite smell is the smell of the kids just after they come in from outside. They smell breezy and delicious.

I like the smell of sleeping kids. Mmm. Like the sound too.

Hil, he's really just asking one question: Can you promise me I'll get an A? Answer is no, can't promise, but keep trying.
