Oh absolutely! "See how the Pink Alpha asserts her supremacy by being the first to touch the fire hydrant WITHOUT stepping on a sidewalk's crack. Fascinating!" :)
Oh YES! I thought the whole season was really incredible. What a gift to see Jodi Foster in a roll like that. Excellent stuff....(and terrifying..but mostly excellent)
Love. Parents of smalls= road manager for heavy metal band-- at least those guys are good eaters, and you know when you're gonna get the yelling...Of course, I wanted you to keep going...xoxo
I think parents have it HARDER, and I'm including anyone who's ever had to manage Ozzy :) If the grid goes and the zombie apocalypse becomes a thing, I am going to look for those ballerina moms...they have something else figured out...for rill :) X!
HAAAA!! I sort of feel like these women are in the velociraptor pen! They will only grow smarter and more cunning. If I were them I would have thrown a box of muffins in the ballerinas' direction and RAN. This is only one of the reasons I chose to be childfree :)
Golly, Sheila, you are so generous in your analysis and forbearance of this situation. I would have been, um, less so. When you said, " Evidently the leader had spoken." I got chills. These women seem to have no idea of what parenting is. Imagine when these little ballerinas turn into entitled teenagers running the show? If the moms don't fix it now, it will never be fixed. A disservice to both moms and girls. Your photo of trees and their shadows is absolutely exquisite.
Hi Sharron! Thanks so much for this conversation! I could see these households in total chaos, overrun with "queen bee" kind of girls and all the trappings of privilege etc..that comes with that. And there will be some hard lessons for all of them in the future. Time will tell! Until then, I'll maybe be at the OTHER cafe across town ;)
I can see this as a entry in a anthropologists notebook , taken while observing the pink gauze species in the wild.

Me too.
Abd do true about True Detective but didn't you love the last episode? So satisfying.

... And I thought, “Are you sure?”....
Nicely captured.
Awesome vibrations, all around.
Greetings from London Sheila Moeschen 🙏🏻🧘🏻♀️🌌
Thank you mahesh! What a pleasure to have you here! Thanks for reading and, I hope, laughing along. Stay well! :)
Every future parent:
"That will never be us."
5 years later (probably shopping for Devon's birthday gift):
"Are you sure?"
"Are you sure?"
"Are you sure?"
"Are you sure?"
"Are you sure?"
"Are you sure?"
One million percent! If you haven’t seen Mike Birbiglia’s The New One standup/story special—it is so much this, but far funnier and more moving
I haven't! I'll have to check it out.
Bad news for parents of young kids: the situations change, but you never really get to stop asking "are you sure?".
HAA!! You are right. My nephews are ages 9 & 7 and the stakes are getting higher. “Are you sure you want to ride the Doom Loop Haunted Coaster?”
What a nightmare! Also: Is this what parenting looks like now? Yikes.
This was hilarious when taken at a safe distance, with no screams in earshot. :)
