Wow!!
forget the porn, the political commentary – the best way to generate comments is to wonder about gender suitability as regards fruit caps!
My informal poll is showing the majority of the respondents believe that fruit caps are okay for boys. Especially pumpkin hats.
Yes to fruit caps. No to tutus.
not much news from these parts … The Boar & Daughter #1 are off on a college trip. They left yesterday afternoon for her tour of Stonehill today. I just heard from them – and our X (reader of purlingswine and entering freshman of Stonehill) was right – Daughter #1 loves it. They have finished the tour and are hoping to catch the ferry for home.
The good news is that she has liked every school we have seen. My SiL is in the administrative/admissions end of higher education. She and I have discussed the importance of seeing a variety of schools and the fact that there is more than one school that is right for you. I have known a number of kids who are highly invested in going to one particular college or university. Not that they shouldn’t have a favorite — but there should be more than one school on the list.
Tonight Daughter #2 and I have a date. We are doing something that my mother would never have done with me. This may or may not be a good thing.
I am taking my fourteen year old to a bar.
Yes, a bar.
It is a local establishment that features local talent. Daughter #2’s good friend is in a band and their debut performance is tonight.
So I will be clubbing with my youngest wild child. This is either:
- 1. a very good thing, a bonding experience and something that will move our relationship onto a deeper level or …..
- 2. the entrance ramp to the Highway to Hell.
