Probably did some other thing well. That's how that works.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
So those children will probably not be told they did anything wrong, until they start their first job after college. Then what?
I can't imagine one of these can-do-no-wrong kids actually making it through college successfully with that attitude. Professors should have a lot more power in the dynamic with helicopter parents than teachers in a state-run primary or secondary school do.

Starbucks War on XMas report - my lunch and scones were put in a bag for me - it's brown with the Starbucks logo, some leaves in chalk and red berries. Not holly leaves, but it does look seasonal to me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So much for my good day -- have just discovered that our clinic of doctors doesn't accept my insurance, which we had to switch to when husband lost his job. So not only do we need to find a new internist, I have to find a new neuro.

I never bothered checking, because it's fricking Aetna! What giant health care conglomerate doesn't accept Aetna? Apparently they had a spat in 2012, in the period we weren't living here, so we never knew they stopped accepting it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Dana, that sucks!
"with some children, you just can't tell them they did anything wrong because they are too sensitive."
I don't get how that's something you'd want to feed or encourage. And I say that as a mom of one of those kids who is prone to outbursts when he's been told he's in the wrong.
We all know these people, right? At work. In relationships. Nothing is ever their fault, there are a million excuses/blames of others for any mistake/failure/rudeness/hurt. Mac has a lot of this despite it not being fed to him at all. He would sooner eat his own face than admit wrong and take responsibility for failures.
So does Isaac (see above), although it's more like he alternates between blaming his behavior on others and earnest soul searching in an attempt to learn and grow and do better.

In other news, Woody Harrelson wore pajamas and socks to a photo call for Mockingjay.
Very Haymitch of him.
Is it bad that I kinda want his tee shirt? Except it's probably one of the hobo chic tees that costs $120.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
And he's very tastefully color-coordinated. And cuddly-looking.
