You know you’ve reached a certain critical milestone as a parent when you look your oldest child in the eye… and realize you’re looking them right in the eye, because they’re just as tall as you are.
The boy’s twelve, which means he’s not even done yet! Oh, man.
Still, he’s a good kid, so hopefully I won’t ever face the possibility of trying to punish a kid who’s bigger than I am…
Added to the file labeled, “Product Names We Never Wanted To See,” we find the following image. I walked past this discarded box on the way to work this morning, glanced down, read the text, stopped, stared at the box for a full thirty seconds, walked away, realized that I could not let such a photo-op go by, walked back, snapped a picture with my phone, then hurried to the bus stop.

Wait, one good thing happened today: I got my new debit card. YAY! So I guess the day hasn’t been a total loss… just a near-total loss.
It’s not my fault. She made me do it. (And by “made me do it” I mean “put it on her site and took no further action to twist my arm,” naturally.)

I had an entry almost ready to go, and then I had to try to Google for something to clarify a point… and my browser crashed.
So, you get this instead. Here, I’ll even throw in a random funny link.
Remember, kids: save those draft entries when your entry is getting a bit lengthy! Don’t be like that “grey duck” guy! Man, what a loser…
