soberity level: ehh

somebody shoot me.

i'm sitting at work with 300 loud stoopid people asking dumb questions.

i guess our haunted house this year has gotten awesome reviews because the idiots just keep pileing in.

"is this ok for a 4 year old?"

i don't know your four year old. how should i know? does your four year old wince at big dogs? do they still wet the bed? do they have chronic nighmares? are they sissy?

may i reiterate that there is no real 'norm' for children of any age. kids are, get ready for this, PEOPLE. and just like how everyone of us adults are different, so are kids.

try to imagine your child as a vertically challenged adult. this will help lessen your confusion.

talk to your damn kids people! i can't tell you how many times i've been approached by parents asking things about thier kids that they before anyone else should know. i don't mind filling them in on reasonable stuff like wether or not they REALLY do all thier homework right after school. but shit like, 'does my kid have fiends?' or 'what do they do here?'. do you even know your child? you concieved them, birthed them, named them and, what? forgot about them after that? they do live with you...they probably speak the language you taught them through example. (*note* YOU taught them thier language by example!)

my point is this...kids are people too. its easy to forget, and i don't blame you. i'm surounded by these migits all day. but please...they just want you to listen believe it or not.
