i like to hear my kids laugh
but i especially like
when something i have said
is cause for their laughter...
at 11 and 15, i have not been
"cool"
for a loooooong time...
so to make them laugh
feels like a bit of a victory
for me...

last night
i hijacked a picture 11 had drawn
of his usual call of duty army men
dressed in full regalia carrying arms...
and i wrote things like
"i just wish someone would give me a hug"
and
"i don't like to shoot people...it's not polite
that's why i use my rainbow raygun..."

my daughter is obsessed with horror movies.

i ate a perfect bologna sandwich today.
