The Brattychick

As I have mentioned on occasions prior to this, Dexter is a madman. Last Friday we were at a playground and he was going up the slide (which I have told him repeatedly not to do) and he fell and split his chin open. Off we went to the emergency room, but not just any emergency room, the ER at Children's Hospital in DC. We learned our lesson to steer clear of regular ERs with children roughly eight years ago. It had something to do with a three day old , an IV, and a student nurse that is lucky I let her live. Once we finally got there we only had to wait 4 hours before being seen. The people at the hospital were wonderful, but it was extremely traumatic nonetheless. I almost perished. They wrapped my son in a papoose and gave him some sort of topical anesthetic. He screamed and shook his head and stuck his tongue out in an effort to cover his chin with the only thing that was available. He sobbed and I sobbed right along with him. But the thing that nearly did me in was the pleadi...

Heidi: Watcha singin' Dexter? Dexter : It's called 'I Love Myself'. Cole : A song about Dexter, lover of himself.

Heidi: You have to eat some peas tomorrow. Miles : But I don't like peas. Heidi: But we have to see if that's what you're intolerant to. You have to eat a little bowl of peas. Miles: But I want salt on them. Jamie : You can have salt on them. Miles: But Mommy doesn't usually put salt on them. Jamie: She will tomorrow. Mommy will let you do whatever you want with them tomorrow. Miles: Like throw them in the garbage?

I can't believe that this is the year 2006. Some souls aren't allowed to marry the soul they'd like to. People blow each other to bits because of differences in their peace-preaching religion. The feminist movement is moving backwards. We have only had Christian white men in the white house. In fact, it's mostly white men running the show everywhere. I don't have anything against Christian white men, but I believe in moderation and I think diversity in our leaders would be a good idea. White skin + penis = good decision making? Umm, in my experience this is not necessarily so. On the other hand we're so obsessed with being politically correct. Retarded > Mentally Handicapped > Mentally Challenged > Special Needs Colored > Negro > Black > African American Lame > Crippled > Invalid > Disabled We have to keep making up new euphemisms. Sometimes the word really does have a negative connotation, but usuall...
