Margie went white water rafting with Jackie, Lori, and some more of Jackie’s crew.<\/p>\n
Kitten and I bought some computer games — Hello Kitty Cutie World<\/i>, and IronStorm<\/i>. I leave it to you to figure out who played with which.<\/p>\n
Katherine has decided to move seriously into “challenging” mode — asking “why” to every decision, denying pronouncements from above (whether commands, or suggestions as to how words are pronounced). Defiance of her will, whether it’s what to wear, what to eat, or when to sleep, results in a screaming fit. Chiding receives chiding in retort.<\/p>\n
Hrm. This is getting old, real fast, both for me (who usually plays Bad Cop anyway) and Margie.<\/p>\n
A bit of dialog overheard from upstairs when Margie got home and was giving Katherine her good-night kiss.<\/p>\n
“Katherine, you need to go back in your room, right now.<\/i>“
\n“No, you<\/i> go! [Pause. Sound of heavy treads on second floor.] Hey! Put me down!”<\/p>\n
Ah, well. This, too, shall pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
