A Reading Corner Mystery!
Whaaaa??! I've finally (almost) finished E's room! We've had quite a fun time creating a little cozy space for her. I sleep in there with her at night and decided to make my bed into more of a day bed for a cute little reading corner. Then this morning, just when I least expected it:
A Reading Corner mystery! E and I keep a journal handy in our corner to write about books, the weather, and anything else! I recently decorated the cover and added a note: "Guest Writers Welcome". This morning I woke up to find this little note written under one of my entries: "What a fandingle! This little miss jingle! Cute as a button, but lighter than mutton! -Mr. McJinglepots." E and I are quite confused by this... Will write more later.

Cute Baby Rule
Some guy in line at the supermarket told me that he has a rule for himself: since everyone tells moms their babies are cute, he "only says it when he really means it." And he proceeded to tell me that E was the cutest baby.
I thought that was a load of crap... or some type of play date pick up line.
No cute baby rule for this mom... I'd rather lie through my teeth. Which is why I said, "And your son... Wow. That's one cute baby..."

Stay Away from the Stairs
Later in the week I'll write about my current job situation but for the time being, this post from 27Bslash6 sums it up quite well. Read the full email exchange here.
...I once read about five monkeys that were placed in a room with a banana at the top of a set of stairs. As one monkey attempted to climb the stairs, all of the monkeys were sprayed with jets of cold water. A second monkey made an attempt and again the monkeys were sprayed. No more monkeys attempted to climb the stairs. One of the monkeys was then removed from the room and replaced with a new monkey. New monkey saw the banana and started to climb the stairs but to its surprise, it was attacked by the other monkeys. Another of the original monkeys was replaced and the newcomer was also attacked when he attempted to climb the stairs. The previous newcomer took part in the punishment with enthusiasm. Replacing a third original monkey with a new one, it headed for the stairs and was attacked as well. Half of the monkeys that attacked him had no idea why. After replacing the fourth and fifth original monkeys, none had ever been sprayed with cold water but all stayed the fuck away from the stairs...
