Said by Ryan tonight: "I love apostrophes." (He was writing out a sentence containing there/their/they're, and was most pleased to discover it was they're.)
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yes, Cloud Hands, they did that one today too. I was going to say I learned it but I'm pretty sure I don't really know it yet, I've just swooshed my hands while the others were actually practicing. Today's class is way ahead of my regular class so it's a little like getting random spoilers out of place. Like I said, it'll all come together eventually.
That sounds very cool.
Oh no, Maria! What a bummer for you.
Hee, tai chi spoilers, I like that. Trying to do the form in the park always felt like that - I was learning a long form and I don't think I ever got all of it.
I meant to say earlier, what a drag to get your day so disrupted, Maria!
Aw, Ryan I like 'em, too.
I went camping with the girl scouts over the weekend, and one of the other parents is miffed at me because I made one of the girls cry. After supervising the cleaning out of our cabin, another girl started running in to "dance" I asked her not to, then told her not to, since the cabin was already swept and everyone's shoes were muddy. I told her she'd lose one of the bracelets the troop leader had given us to hand out to helpful girls, and take away for girls not listening. She went in, tracked in dirt, and I told her she owed me a bracelet and then she cried for over an hour. One of the parents (not of the girl from whom I'd claimed a bracelet) pulled me aside to say, "with some children, you just can't tell them they did anything wrong because they are too sensitive." I just pointed out that I used the discipline we'd all agreed to at the beginning of the trip, girls included, and walked away.
So, long story short, we aren't going to be buddies that mother and I.
Also, K's troop leader is also president of the PTA, troop leader for her older daughter's troop, class mother, and has a baby at home. I'm impressed and scared of her.
Oy, Sparky.
Hey, Google's logo today is to celebrate Hedy Lamar! It's one of their fancy animated ones.
(And this time, not Hedley)
I saw that last night - it's a good one!
Ugh, Sparky, that child needs to learn to toughen up!
Eh, I think we as a society should be more accepting of crying. That parent needs to mind her own business.
