thing i learned 1/6/09

some kids respond really, really well to the countdown. "you have 5 seconds to get into your pjs.....5.....4......3.....2....1."

also, question: is 30 too old to be a babysitter?

also - i'm getting increasingly sensitive and weepy in my old age. when you're tearing up at Puff the Magic Dragon, you know things have changed.

also - one little thing said by someone else can throw me into a downward spiral of life reevaluation.
