a little pregnant: New rule: Don’t read comments, ever
“Every time someone declares that infertile people should accept their lot in life and adopt, they should be required by law to adopt a child themselves. To put their money where their mouth is. Shouldn’t be a problem, right? I hear it’s a piece of cake. And every time someone says that infertile people should [...]
Moon Walk/First Drive
I was in a 400-year-old farmhouse in the New Forest area in the south of England when the original moon walk happened 40 years ago. If you saw it, you would also remember. Amazing. Even on black and white TV. I was 16. Today, my 15 1/2-year-old daughter took her first drive around the neighborhood [...]
Hungry pants
4-yr-old’s face is covered in oatmeal. I say, “You’ve been eating oatmeal!” She says, “It’s on my pants, too. My pants were hungry.”
I’m in trouble now
4-yr-old got up this am, logged onto computer with password she’d been told once and started playing computer games. I’m in trouble now.

Angie and my intestines
The other day Angie told her teacher Heather, “I remember being in an egg in my mommy’s intestines.” She saw a rear windshield wiper on a car while we were driving along, and she said, “Oh! Look at that little windshield wiper! It’s so cute!” They are cute. She had told me she liked something [...]
Angela wants to be a clown
Yesterday, Angela told me she wanted to be a clown when she grows up. I asked her if this was because she likes people to laugh with her, and she said yes.
Happy to be in my belly
I was reading Angela the book, Are You My Mother?, this morning and when the baby bird jumps inside the egg, I told her that she jumped when she was inside me and I could feel her. She said, “I’m so happy that I was inside your belly. You covered me. And then I growed.” [...]
