This has been an interesting day concerning my siblings….
LOL!
Hannah had to have a physical for Dance today… and I stayed
at the house with Aaron while everyone else went to the Doctor’s office. Upon
their return… I discover that my 15-year-old sister stuck her finger in the
Doctor’s fish tank and was bitten… BY A PIRANHA!! **facepalm** It drew blood!!!
SMH! I just don’t know about her sometimes.
Aaron lost his fourth tooth today!! He was so excited to go
to bed and have the tooth fairy come! Unfortunately… Ethan is terrified of the
tooth fairy and didn’t want to go to sleep!! I must admit… I never considered
the idea that the tooth fairy could be a scary thing. But I guess some random
winged creature coming into your room at night and collecting your lost teeth,
from under your pillow, could come across as scary! It was so cute hearing
Aaron trying to console him… But Hannah had to go snuggle with him to calm him
down.
Also.. I have learned a few things in my short time back in
GC… 1. Littering makes me angry, instantly! There is just NO reason for it! And
there is no reason to teach children to do these things or to allow children to
do them! I had forgotten that I used to fight with my father about this growing
up. 2. I think gender-policing children is abusive. And I can’t believe I ever
participated in gender policing (of which I am certain I still do to some
degree… I am not a saint)… and I can’t believe it still exists in such huge and
harmful ways. (A shout out to Sarah for raising three boys without Gendered
policing! I hope I’m like her if I ever have children… although… her patience
exceeds anyone’s I know. )
Movie notes of the night…: Lockout was shamefully predictable but the main character was..
mildly attractive with an enjoyable wit (if you like it crude). I wouldn’t watch
it again… but it wasn’t a complete waste of 88 minutes.
