Well!!! What a delightful read! I was missing you on reading your note to me, so i decided to check on the O.R. Hmm, kinda makes it OK that i don’t have kids, for from my late older sister I received my favorite combo expletive which i do utter perhaps too frequently. It’s Shitpissfuckdoodycrap! There! It even felt good to write it! If i was in your house, Q, I’d pay up.
much love to all,
Bets

Thanks! Do you love them even when you’re the subject?

Miss you, bro!

Interesting to recall that the first utterance I ever heard from MIlo was the delightful F-bomb, followed by a giggle after knocking down his blocks. I can’t even begin to imagine the scathing dissections he will be able to impart upon his hapless victims as he gets older! I love your stories Q!

Ha! Yes, I’m cursed with a…shall we say…colorful streak. For my birthday (four days ago, the day we did dishes together!) Milo gave me two gifts: 25 hugs (many of which I’m missing–he needs to pay up) and a whole day of freebies. I didn’t use my freebies as much as I should have, I must say. I should have stood on Cascade Head shouting into the wind every interesting phrase I could think of.

The sad thing is, I think I’ve gotten rusty.

Ah, well. What a price parenting, eh?

Thanks for reading! I’m caught up finishing a book so I haven’t been doing these essays as much, but an edited collection (there are over 400 pieces on here!) of them live on the website called The Nervous Breakdown. Thanks for seeking me out on the little neglected Rabbit site.

One day the Rabbit will be revived…

This was the first post of yours I’ve read…and I loved it. Glad to know it’s not just me. I owe my kids $5 everytime I say the f-word. They have to split it if they both hear it. I owe them each about $20, but they’ve made far more than that over the years. Gave up swearing totally for Lent this year. (well, the key words. Darn, shoot, freakin’, etc, were all acceptable.) It was harder than giving up chocolate. but as you say, there is a time and a place for all language, and sometimes there’s no substitute.

I’m pretty sure Dad could cuss like a good old fashioned dock worker, but you have a certain panache which I would say puts most everyone, save Auntie Storm, to shame.

Thanks, Mum. Make me a feast with your feast-making and Catullus! Are we eating Italian on Sunday?

Dearest heart:

I love this *(^&%%!!!+_|?/ story. Wish I could take all the credit for your eloquent flair for good old Anglo-Saxon monosyllables, but your late, great Pop could flaunt an asbestos tongue with the best of ‘em, too. Auntie Storm is pretty fluent, as well, I recall. Have to go, now, to make dessert and read some Catullus, just to stay on top of my game.

Love,

Momsterin

Comment on A Boy and His Transmogrifier by Ominous Rabbit

Ah, yes. The nightly polls! Luckily, McGoo has set aside C&H for a while as he investigates the deeper side of Mythbusters (when he realizes the two are really not that far apart, we’re screwed). When he revisits Calvin, my guess is I will have gone very far down in the polls.

You can remind Tolkien that Calvin’s own Transmogrifier is no better than Milo’s; it’s only Calvin’s rampant imagination that makes it so effective! Our Transmogrifier is on Craigslist right now, or it was, and Lars keeps getting messages from people saying they don’t need a Transmogrifier, but did we have a Duplicator? I love it. (What’s crazy is we DO have a Duplicator! But it’s not available. Milo still uses it to make Duplicates of himself to do his homework. Or attack us with an army.)

Thanks for showing up on the humble Rabbit. The Rabbit is in the burrow for a bit, but she’s certainly left behind enough pellets to keep anyone occupied for YEARS.

Tolkien just lost his mind when he saw this. He’s supposed to be folding clothes and when his brother yelled to him as much, Tolkien replied, “HOLD ON! I HAVE TO SEE MOM’S FRIEND’S SON’S TRANSMOGRIFIER!” He was confused when I pointed out that the cardboard box in the photo was the sum total of said Transmogrifier.

This morning, Tolkien and Indigo brought me my polls. Apparently I’ve dropped 90 points in the last few weeks. I was informed that I could bring my numbers up by taking them to fun, exciting places. But also that I might be “voted out of office” soon.

This is so sweet, Q. I love that he’s individuating. It is a little sad, but also way neato.

Nice to read some stuff, other stuff. In an odd sorta way, being somewhat normal, out of the abyss, as it were. See you next weekend.
