I'm pretty sure the mom doesn't invite kids over. He's a good kid. I'll still have him over--they have a lot of fun playing together.
I'm still a little in shock.

Because books.
Oh, Cash. Ugh. That poor kid. And you. That's really unsettling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'll still have him over--they have a lot of fun playing together.
Yeah, I was going to say -- I hope you have the kid over more.

Cashmere, yikes. I don't blame you for being in shock.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Definite UGH, Cashmere. Poor kid.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
It's eleventh hour (this is due Friday) and I suddenly got roped into finishing a project that's been ongoing for months. It's a podcast for the arboretum and it's been titled "Trees Talkin' Trash", and it's a guided tour of the arboretum geared towards third to fifth graders using the existing trees anthropomorphized into characters talking about the history of the place and the environment both naturalist and political. And the script is one fucking long monologue and there's nothing trashy about it.
So, in the interests of young folk who would be listening, what constitutes appropriate smack-talk? I'm trying to introduce some sarcasm, and am tempted at some "you're momma was an acorn" jokes. I just can't believe this shit was put in my lap and it's due FRIDAY and the two education staff and the intern who originally wrote the script came up with this boring crap. And I'm the only one saying it's so, and so I've gotten stuck with the overhaul. I don't know kids! I'm having visions of The Last Unicorn and Butterfly being the fucking crazy narrator and one of the trees being the Douglas Fir molesting Schmendrick.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YAY cynical mind for the win!
oh Cash, that is rough.
so......was part of a VERY MINOR 4 car accident on the way home from mac's therapy. SERIOUSLY MINOR - on an Interstate at 5:30 and no car damage and no one hit. basically we all bumped bumpers and the first car just started a chain reaction. I was car 3 and am not clear if I hit the car in front of me and then got hit from behind or if I got hit from behind and pushed into the car in front of me. mac was not even freaked out.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
"Your mama was an acorn" is pretty damned funny to me. Hard to know what to suggest without know the actual trees/plants/arboretum map in question, though.

It's not the same feelings as seeing the CSI truck pull up and start digging in the neighbor's back yard but still. This kid BEGS to have Owen over to his house to play.
...OK, did the CSI truck thing really happen??!
And, poor kid. At least now you know? Eep.
