I took my son to the park today. He 'made friends' with a cute little kid (by trying to pirate his sacred 'tuck') and accosting their dog, Buddy (by trying to ride him like a horse). The mom was totally cool, too. This rarely happens in my experience. People will talk 'through' their children, never really to you.

Today, I actually met a mom that wasn't the normal play date mom (or by normal, I mean, the ones I've encountered as of recent). You know, comparing your kid's weight to their kid's weight, how many words they can say, etc. It's an adult pissing contest that I refuse to play. Every kid is different. If people would start celebrating differences, this world wouldn't suck so badly in my opinion (but that's another post).


On a separate note, we were walking home and my son had my billfold. He promptly opened it up and threw out all the tampons I had in it on the street.

Nice.
