Art question

How long can I keep up my art print for "Silent Night Deadly Night" in the TV room next to my Disney World attraction posters?

Need for Speed

We go to the school for a potluck supper in the gym. Josie spends the entire night racing around like a maniac with her little friends. I'm pondering to train her for 10K or Cross Country. I won't ask where she gets the energy cause she yanks it out of me.

Sport of Kings

Supposedly Josie got upset while bowling in preschool. She took it hard when the plastic ball missed the plastic pins. Guess we need to get more episodes of Celebrity Bowling so she can learn the Don Adams' release.

Folkin' Out

The kid has become addicted to watching Peter Paul and Mary videos on youtube. She can't get enough of "If I Had A Hammer" and "Lemon Tree." She even can sing parts of the songs. It's like a '60s kid with a 21st Century twist. It's much better than having her singing along with a Kanye West track.

Shhhhhhh

Spending the next few days hoping nobody on the playground brags about Fresh Beat Band tickets.

Don't look in their eyes

I'm sitting at a fast food joint with Josie and I wonder, "How many of these people think I'm here waiting for the parents to drop off the ransom money in a takeout bag?"

Really?

I'm the responsible adult who gets to sign the kid's permission slip? That just feels wrong. I should write a note, "Please let Josie have a shoebox full of $20 bills. Thanks. Josie's Dad." That'd be a much useful note.

The Day has arrived

When I was a kid, the first day of school was a bittersweet moment. It meant that summer was over and having an unorganized day was done until Christmas break. It was nice to know I'd be seeing people in school, but I wanted a few more days of summer before getting on the bus.

As an adult, the act of dropping the kid off at school for a few hours of peace at home is a reason to rejoice. Someday I won't have that reaction. Probably when Josie is big enough to mow the yard.

That's My Music!!!

The kid is addicted to the Josie and the Pussycats theme song. She swears it's about her - soon as I buy her a guitar, ears and a tail that matches.
