Also we got home & Mr. E asked "how was dinner?" & I said "it was nice!" & Mom said "IT WAS AN ORDEAL." Has it just been too long since she hung out with small kids? Or would most people not count a dinner outing where the baby throws up, the kid knocks over the neighbors' water, and the parent, despite her best efforts, is moved once to loudly state "Mother. FUCKER." as a success? I can't remember anymore. :( Relatively speaking, it went well!

Soon they will be old enough to loudly repeat your political opinions, which may not be popular among those eating nearby! Relatedly, Mom got yelled at at least once for "raising anti-coal girls" when I was a kid.

Oh, lord. Well, I stand by my political opinions.
