Making Fun of Poor Defenseless Housepets: Sport or Viable Career Path?

12.10.2007


Give me your best caption for this photo I found on Nate’s computer today–I know you have a good one in mind–and I’ll donate $50 in your name to Daring Young Mom’s admirable volunteer efforts to help the good folks of Washington State. Otherwise Nate’s utter and complete disregard for any dignity that our poor little Emily might have left had will be for naught.

Meanwhile, thank you so much for the wonderful questions for the Toy Industry Association – the ones posted and the ones emailed to me. I’m so glad to see so many thoughtful, concerned parents who have more to say than just “Arggghhhhhh!”

Hopefully answers will be posted within the week.

Oh, and if this is true, it’s awesome. Maybe Nate will get Trump at his table when he goes back to waiting tables next week.

The intervention once again fails to move Emily into giving up what has become a 14 a day Schmacko habit.

Noah felt defeated. He had been told to take the animals two by two, but species after species his efforts were thwarted. To calm his nerves, he decided to take a nap.http://www.procrastamom.wordpress.com

I see motherhood uncensored went the Gulliver route, but I’m going to add mine anyway.“Meanwhile, Gulliver’s dog discovered that the Liliputian’s pets included a variety of animals.
