I have to watch everything I say, and pretend to be normal (correction, I am normal, they are just boring) and care that oh wow, white shorts aren't practical in a park with a mulch floor - no kidding!Sporadic Intelligencehttp://www.sporadicintelligence.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3645108511916189657.post-73027831894284440402013-06-10T20:38:47.641+06:002013-06-10T20:38:47.641+06:00Princess, you are right!

Don't worry about the boys." <br /><br />So, the boys come over, but they're banished to the backyard. By 5:06 I've had enough, I want to give the kids supper. <br /><br />"OK, everyone is going in now." (Meaning: "Youse, scram.")<br /><br />"But our father said we can't come home until 6!" <br /><br />I kid you not. Their father threw them out on MY head to take care of. <br /><br />People. Not parents, they haven't earned the title. <br /><br />But, to clarify, it is more Shakespearean English, not Old English. Old English sounds more like German, and Middle English (which came later) didn't yet have the Great Vowel Shift, so that's not very pronounceable either. I had to recite a Canterbury Tale in Middle English, and my vowels are all messed up.

I wrote a post very similar to this one last year (yours is much better, thank you).<br /><br />I don't know why mother's think that parental supervision stops at just showing up. My kid was slapped across his face (3 times in quick succession) ,and terrified by a girl in a gorilla costume, who continued to scare him even after I PLEADED for her to stop it.<br /><br />I wonder sometimes what makes some children so mean spirited, and this might just be the answer - parents not caring to notice them.
