I have brillant children

My princess comes in to our room and asks, “what’s the date today?”We say the 16th.She says “What? “We say much louder, the 16th!!She replies, “okay thanks” and starts to leave the room, turns back and says “by the way, that’s July right?”Oh yeah, the pride that swells out from me is just unimaginable. This child is nothing if not a constant source of joy, and possibly laughter.
The boy comes in, “Hey Mom got $20?”No.“Well I need a new game”Yeah because the 700 you currently own aren’t enough.“NO seriously Mom, I have to get this game to play with this kid online.”Did you clean your room?“No. If I do can I have $20?”No but you can have a nice clean room.“Hahaha you’re really funny Mom, so can I have the $20?”What game is it?“I’ll know when I get to the store.”But you have to have it and this kid is waiting for you online to play it but you don’t even know the name of it.“I’ll know it when I get to the store.”Yeah that would be a big fat no.Luckily he does well enough in school that he’ll probably move out some day.

Monster Juice Spray pussifying our children?

Today someone posted a cute little story about a pharmacy that prescribes a Monster Spray to children that have monsters under their bed. They spray the spray before bedtime, under their bed and it makes all the monsters go away. A little six year old girl used it three times before she was sure all the monsters were gone. I find this story absolutely adorable. I think it's wonderful that this pharmacists does something so kind for small children with big imaginations. I think a little magic in this world is just what a lot of child need. The response from one woman totally had me stunned. She said it's crap like this that is pussifying our children. Really? Then she went on in another reply when asked what one has to do with the other to say her daughter was bullied and what are they going to make next, bully spray? (They do make a bully spray, it's called mace!)  Her daughter had to graduate early because of bullies. Okay, what does her daughter being bullied have to do...

Sometimes..

Sometimes the emotional pain becomes too much to bear. Sometimes the emotional pain feels like it's going to consume us. Sometimes the emotional pain is so overwhelming that we need a physical pain to release it before we lose ourselves and who we are in it. Not everyone can understand this, I get that. Not everyone can look at someone with scars that were self inflicted and say, I see your pain. Sometimes, we hide those scars under our jeans so no one will notice. It's not for attention, it's for release. Sometimes we dull the pain with alcohol, sometimes we dull the pain with drugs either prescription or illegal. Sometimes we smoke too much and talk to loud. But we find our release to keep us alive. We are survivors with our scars to prove it.
