Good things about Monday
— playgroupsarenoplaceforchildren.com — Fearing the worst, I was relieved that at no time did the ER doctor ever utter the words, “Your daughter is suffering from Scarlet Fever/The Black Plague/an incurable skin condition that will leave her scarred for life.” It certainly didn’t hurt that the doctor who ...

Pride and Precocious
— playgroupsarenoplaceforchildren.com — I’m not particularly proud of several facets of this story.

So far away from me
— playgroupsarenoplaceforchildren.com — I recently had a conversation with a friend who complained about having family so close-by. “They just show up! Unannounced!

At least I don’t let them OD on sugar

Dates
