Eyes. On Stalks. Must. Stop. Reading

Gah. Have read punditry until my eyes feel like they're out on stalks. Am addicted. Must stop. Gah.

Gratuitous note from the weekend:

Dear Preschool Committee -

I realize that you want the entire preschool involved in the church Christmas pageant; however, next year you might want to consult the professional toddler wrangling association about age-appropriate props and routes to the stage.

Arming 15 2-year olds with hard cardboard stars glued to sticks and then forcing them to climb 2 flights of concrete stairs without a hand rail is a good way to give the preschool Christmas pageant a PG-13 rating for blood and violence. And getting said toddlers back DOWN the stairs is a good way to give 5 or 6 teachers heart attacks.

I realize that one could argue the "renewable resource" aspect of toddlers, but I don't think the Doritos "we'll make more" stance will be terribly comforting to the parents of toddlers who crack their skulls while attempting to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Thanks so much for your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,
Big Arm Woman

Yes, reading the blogs is a great way to avoid reading and grading term papers.

Concrete stairs without a handrail? Are they nuts?
