Had a school open house thingie last night for Thing 2. It was……interesting. The kids lead their own conferences, following a script provided by their teachers. There were checkboxes to tick off when each task was completed. To nobody’s surprise, Thing 2 was dutiful in the checking and the script following and the meticulous review of each of the pieces of schoolwork he had in the 4 folders of his core classes. ‘Leave no stone unturned’ is that boy’s motto. You want thorough? Go to him.
You want completely and utterly random? Go to his older brother. Thing 1 will yell out stuff like ‘I like ham’ at odd intervals, and half the time is walking around with his shoelaces untied and scraps of paper falling out of his pockets, which also happen to be chock full of pencils and pens which he picks up off the floor at school and re-sells for a quarter apiece. He’s a lanky blond storm of a boy, while his younger brother is more like a big ol’ brick wall.
How two children who are so very different have the same two genertic material donors is quite beyond me.

NaBloPoMo. Yeah. Some people are doing it. SOUNDS like a good idea, until you’re faced with a certain dearth of anything postable. The pressure of having to post is tremendous, and unless you’re able to blather on about this n’ that at length (or not, I suppose), you’re going to wind up posting a lot of inanity. Like this. And I’m not even participating in the NaMoBloPo, or whatever.
Eh – I gots to go. Y’all have a wonderful weekend, and a beer for me.
