So you’re saying that when I get knocked down, I should get up again? I should never let stuff keep me down?

When the world knocks you down,
get back up and keep on walking.

A child I have said good morning to for 8 weeks and who rarely acknowledges me brought me a piece of wedding cake from his dad’s weekend festivities. Some people surprise you in the best ways.

Sounds like someone has the temperament to work with children, a job they picked to do and a field they could leave at any time!

J: I'm leaving here in a minute

Me: Are you at the bottom of a well?

It is a wonderful and strange thing to meet so many people during their formative years.

Effbook updates yesterday included someone getting their doctorate, someone buying a house, two people beaming as they hold ultrasound photos, and one person’s arraignment for m*rder.

We went to put the air conditioners away yesterday and learned that a wasp nest decided to move into that crawl space. Good times!!!

Once again I’d like to shout out the scheduler I talked to once at the dermatologist’s who asked “Do you want me to schedule your next appt deadass in the middle of the day so it would be dumb to go to work?”

Queen, you have changed my life

A kid was complaining about 2 characters in a book she’s reading and another kid said, “Oh that makes sense to me. After I was assaulted, I stopped wearing dresses altogether” and these are the things people casually disclose

An adult: sorry if you were offended earlier

Me: When? Do you mean when you called me in the middle of a class and told me to get 2 boxes to you asap and I said you could get them any time; they’ve been ready for you for 2 weeks? And you didn’t thank me and hung up on me?

Adult: Yes
