Him: You know, I really hate it that you aren’t ticklish. It seems like an unfair advantage.
Me: Hmmm. Well, you know, control issues.
Him: Hey, I have control issues, too. That’s why I hate being so ticklish.
Me: Well, I was ticklish when I was a kid, you know.
Him: So, what? Did you just will it to [...]

You may have noticed that I haven’t been around a lot this week. (What? You didn’t notice? I’m crushed.) This is because late last week, as I was talking to my mother, I said something about trick-or-treat this coming Saturday.
“It’s not on Saturday,” she said. “It’s Thursday.”
Crap.
I know. I know. If I bothered to look [...]

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like???
Last night, after a long and exhausting final excursion to Kings Island for the year, I found myself at Target shopping for birthday presents. I spent the next hour or so wandering up and down the toy aisles wondering what the heck a six-year-old girl and eleven-year-old boy would think was cool that wouldn’t, you [...]

Contemplations, Courtesy of a Coat
A couple of weeks ago, I went on a shopping trip to Macy’s with my stepmother-in-law (heretofore referred to as “New Mommy”–yes, Sean and his brother actually call her that). I am not in the habit of shopping there, as I find it depressing. I could go nuts spending in that store if I was [...]

Looking for a Big Picture
When I first asked my ethical question last week, it was with a very specific reason in mind. Before I move on from discussing human trafficking, I want to do full justice to that topic (as well as touch on a couple of things brought up in the comments on these posts).
As a review, my [...]

Heck with the Polar Bears–Save the People
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing” – Edmund Burke
I have been amazed, over the past couple of days, by how little response I have gotten to my ethical question and follow-up information. Or, at least, how little response by way of comments. My blog stats have [...]

The Baby Exploded
Since this post is about E~, I am going to first start with a little update. I’ve been saying for a couple of weeks that I was about to be in trouble with this kid.
I’m in trouble with this kid.
This past Saturday, he put a few things together and made a breakthrough. Forward movement. I’ve [...]

Another Perspective on The Question
OK, OK, I get it. I’m not going to get some of you to answer my question.
Yet.
While I’m still going to keep my opinions close to my vest, I am going to give you a little more information to mull over.
This is me, dipping my toe into very murky waters.
The reason I asked my ethical [...]

Reminder: Ethical Question
OK, I know you all are reading it. But only a few of you have answered my question. I am, of course, curious as to why. Do you not care? Are you afraid of being trapped by your stance? Do you suspect that you know where I’m going and don’t want to go there?
This isn’t [...]
