Reward? To be kicked in the balls in his sleep as I leaned over to kiss him goodnight.

How sharper than a serpent's tooth is filial ingratitude. :D

It gets worse.
 
Puking from period pain, I'm going to envy you for a couple of days.

That’s alright, go ahead and envy it. I sometimes think about how much better life has gotten since my plumbing was removed.

:rose: I hope it passes quickly.
 
I love my teenagers. Maybe it will get worse as they leave the nest but so far it’s a riot. I value the young adults they’re becoming.

Did somebody call a plumber ?
 
I'll have had 25 years of practice with teenagers* by the time he is one. I have no idea if it will make things worse or better, but I hope at least it might make them less of a shock.


*It's fine. I've already reported myself.

Pah!! Parents evening is always full of perplexed looking parents wondering if you're talking about the same child. They save the best for dad :)
 
But usually in a good way, isn't it? That's always the nicest thing about it, as a teacher. Parents bemused that you are praising their sullen boy for his excellent contributions to the debate, etc. It's very rare indeed that I have to criticise a student who is the apple of his/her parents' eyes.

Exactly. You've had years of practice dealing with, even with the worst behaved child, far better than they dish out for dear old ma and pa :) now you get the backstage experience!
 
zumi!

more Prince artifacts

Afshin Shahidi’s new book, “Prince: A Private View,” conveys both doting reverence and, in its glossiness and sheer heft (more than two hundred and fifty photographs, about half of them previously unpublished), definitive authority. Its short foreword is written by Beyoncé, who learned from Prince the knack of both withholding and dramatizing the facts of one’s private life. (It was Prince, she writes, who made her “curious about the world behind the stage, the business of show.”) In amiable, earnest captions and anecdotes, Shahidi conveys the confidence that Prince had in his vision—or, more precisely, the way in which Prince sought to use the photographer as an instrument to produce a fantastical, private theatre of himself. This kind of private view does not involve an off-duty Prince, lounging in impossibly light silk pajamas, as one might imagine. Instead, whether after a show, on a plane, in a rehearsal, or in the early hours, Prince is always performing, always on.

(gsgs comment Fuck, yes, he was"on." He was being recorded. *eyeroll*)
