Silly people in the news...
So one of Rora's favorite books,
And Tango Makes Three, is in the news again because silly people have a problem with something that happened in real life. Silly, silly people.
Which reminds me of Rora's latest obsession- Harry Potter. The kid loves yard sales like crazy, and 'tis the season, so we've hit a few. Her first purchase was a set of cassette tapes (thank god we still have an old cassette player) of the first Harry Potter book for a dime. She has listened to one side of a tape every night since. Sometimes she will ask to go to her room just to listen to the next tape. Then a friend of mine (Hi Dami!) gave her the REST of the books on tape and CD. You've never seen such joy. She has decided she wants to go as Harry Potter for Halloween, and has named her favorite doll (it eats! it wets! it makes irritating noises!) Harry Potter (short for Harriet Alecia Potter, thank you very much) and has made me draw lightening bolts on her forehead with crayon. And just this morning she was supposed to write a sentence from her favorite book for homework, and, you guessed it, she chose "The Boy Who Lived".
Honestly I plan to milk this for all its worth. Go Harry Potter!
True Friendship -- None of that Sissy Stuff
To my friends, I promise:
1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in.
4. When you are scared -- I will rag you about it every chance I get until you're NOT.
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.
6. When you are confused -- I will try to use only little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall -- I will laugh at your clumsy ass, but I'll help you up.
This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end.
Friendship is like piddling in your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.
Thanks Heather!
