Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Grace.

That is some kind of bullshit about the cookies though. Weird letter-of-the-law.

ita, it's a tearjerker!

If you want to come for any part of tomorrow, I'll happily come and get you (as it will get me out of the house which I will need).

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Kat, thank you. That's beautiful.

Also, consider last year, I sent witch cupcakes (for a party) with licorice hair, chocolate dipped ice cream cones and candy corn noses and no one batted an eye.

I don't like getting my kid in trouble inadvertently. So I told him I was done sending cookies and I wouldn't do it anymore for parties and I didn't want to send cupcakes either.

Fuck. For halloween? We sent cakeballs. Chocolate dipped. Please to explain how that shit is NOT candy.

Cake isn't candy! It's right there in the words! @@

CHOCOLATE COVERED CAKE, LADY.

Is chocolate even candy? I can't tell -- so many different letters!

Because books.

Gracie! That was awesome.

The cookie thing isn't. Apparently this year at Sara's school, no treats of any kind can be sent in for birthdays because ... they have no joy in their hearts? No idea. So stupid.

Because Jamie Oliver said so? In our district (not at Noah's school), you can't send anything not bakery baked.
