Happy for my friend. Her oldest & Clownfish are the same age, born 10 days apart. We met in birthing class, actually. She and I announced our #2s at the same time... and then I miscarried #2 (before the blog . . . and again). Her beautiful daughter is three years old now...

My brother, a man not known for his foresight... or thoughtfulness... or initiative... took his father-in-law's snowblower to get fixed at the start of the week in preparation for the snowmageddon. He left it, gassed up and ready to go, in my parent's drive way...

Clownfish and I were just debating whether male dancers are called ballerinas.His friend at school told him yes, so his friend is right and mommy is wrong.The way I understand it, I don't get to be right again until he's about 30.

Clownfish wanted very much to tell me a secret today, but he didn't want to break his promise to not tell anyone his secret. But he wanted to tell me. So, he gave me hints until I could guess because then he's not breaking his promise if I guess. The logic of five year olds...

Gateway drugs

Remember candy cigarettes? Then parents got all worried that it would make kids think smoking was cool and would get them hooked on nicotine etc.My coworkers have a theory that Pixie Sticks are the gateway to coke.Pop Rocks? Crack.Lick-M-Aid / Fun Dip? Heroin.

So what's normal?

Posted on January 14, 2010
Every kid has his own quirks. And every parent accommodates those quirks to the extent that she is willing or able. And every parent comes to a place of acceptance thinking this is totally normal non-quirky behavior and never gives it another thought ...

I should never be allowed to write about music. Like most people, I just listen to what I like and don't give much thought to it. I don't read music blogs or magazines. I can't play any instruments. Well, I can play Heart and Soul on a piano, but that hardly counts...

In college, I had a friend who likened me to Eeyore from Pooh. It's not that I was outwardly or obviously gloomy. I have a pretty upbeat personality in person and talk in an animated fashion -- quickly and excitedly, perhaps a little manically, occasionally to an awkward degree -- but not at all morosely or sullenly or slowly...

Knee deep in Sherlockia

I read my first Sherlock Holmes story in seventh grade. It was the Blue Carbuncle. We read it as a class right around Christmas. It was a mystery involving a Christmas goose and my hippie English teacher was a Holmes fan.I remember going to the public library over the break and checking out the Complete Sherlock Holmes, all 56 short stories and four novels...
