On the contrary, and I think it's probably funnier without the animated GIF. I had to use my imagination and everything! I even made the HNNNNN noise out loud, to check it out. And I'm at work.
My recent post A Turd in the Tub: The Magical Thinking of Kids

I am a bubble-wrap lover but still got a kick out of this. Your drawings are so raw and honest. :) Honestly, I almost bought a bubble-wrap Advent calendar this year when I saw it in a gift catalog. That is how bad I've got it: thinking it would be fine to replace my children's traditional chocolate-filled Advent calendars with bubble-wrap ones. Not sane.
My recent post When Ann Rice Died: Reflections on Death, Chickens, and Motherhood

I basically wanted to uproot and move to your neighborhood as I read your description of it, even though I live in a similar neighborhood and perhaps because I'm of a similar demographic. We could have sent our child to a private school, if we scraped together everything we had, but I didn't want her to be in a school with virtually no diversity. I also didn't want *her* to be considered the whole of the diversity. We have been rewarded tenfold for our decision to not jump on the elitist bandwagon. We are not rich, but her school life is rich, and in the end, when those PTA members with a bejeweled fist have to give in or get out, I trust many of them will learn the lesson you're trying to impart.
