I mean, my whole day is like a shift at the reference desk. Lately we're getting lots of observations, like "Mommy? Did you know that the birthday kid actually gets *less* frosting, because when you pull out the candles they take some frosting with them?" Who thinks of that? Frosting-obsessed 4.5 yr olds, I guess.

When you're a mom it's "normal" to not be able to find any real change, just Chuck E. Cheese tokens and smashed/imprinted pennies from museums. All the washclothes are puppets, and if you walk across a room with too much force some of the toys start spouting songs and lessons. (Especially that damn Alphabug, he's baaaack!) This is not to mention the grosser stuff, like yurp on all the shoulders of your clothes. There are also so many unanswered questions. The latest are Beatles-version, such as "Is love REALLY all you need?" plus misc. questions about the plot line in the Yellow Submarine movie; the latter is just too hard. (What IS the Nowhere Man anyway, bunny? Koala? Small ape?) “Normal” is a state of mind! When you’re a mom it’s “normal” to not be able to find any real change, just Chuck E.

I'm going to have one right now (well, maybe a beer, as we don't really have any cocktail fixin's). Yay for cocktails!

When the projectile-vomiting, eczema-covered infant grows up to be a four-year-old with an attitude. Life with children can be challenging even when it's "normal." Everybody needs compassion and the occasional cocktail, unless they're in recovery or something. You know what’s funny?
