That's so awesome! I would like to go to a first laugh party.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Isn't that great? I keep trying to talk all my white friends with babies into doing it. I will not be blamed for a generation of selfish children!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I love the idea of a first laugh party.
My favorite Mythbusters was where they refuted "a bull in a china shop." That was so funny as they made the china shop maze tighter and tighter and added more bulls and they daintily wended their way through without even rattling a teacup.

I was just going to say, I may be reconsidering my stance on cultural appropriation, because I would love the THROW a first laugh party!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Kripkat stood next to me this morning and purred until I woke up. He roped Avon into staring at me from the dresser. It would be annoying it it weren't so cute!
ita, we still on for today?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Right? I think it's an awesome thing to appropriate. I mean, if you're going to appropriate! And anyway, the best part is trying to get your qualifications to throw the party; i.e., trying to get babies to laugh. There's no downside there!
I adore that "bull in a china shop" episode. It was like bull ballet. They were so graceful and elegant winding through those shelves. At full speed, too! Just stepping as prettily as you please.
So now we try to use that phrase appropriately, to mean with grace and care. We also say "It went over like a lead ballon." to mean it did go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes, bon! 3?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
researchers bring toddlers into a room with some toys, have the kids play with the toys for a little while, then take the kid out, replace some of the toys with miniature versions, and bring the kid back in.
It probably means I'm unfit to be a parent, but man do I love watching people experiment on babies. So fascinating!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Seriously!
I just got back from a few errands, including picking up the bitching hat I just got from the AWESOME lisah.
I suspect that concludes the outside portion of my weekend. I think I may celebrate by going back to bed.
