things Casper said today
"STOP HOLDING MY HAND! You're going to make me *serious*!"
This was on the walk home from the bus/Bataan Death March. I need a new plan, as I can't carry her any more and she won't walk at a pace fast enough to get us the two blocks in less than about an hour. I also can't sit down and sob and can't smack her about the head, both of which I wanted to do today. What I actually did was alternate between carrying her like a sack of potatoes and basically dragging her by the hand. Of course, as you may have gathered, we were in a hurry to get home today as I had a haircut appointment. (The "serious" part comes from Mommy's Getting Angry Time, which tends to sound like, "Casper. Listen to your Mommy. I am serious." And is, sadly, fairly useless. I keep trying to develop my Miss Manners Glare of Doom but I don't seem to have it down yet.)
Funny thing two was uttered in the car, as a motorcycle passed:
"That is the strangest car I've ever seen."

I don't know what to vibe you to make this easier. Ooomph-ma to you? Less-laggy-ma to Casper? They can be surprisingly sweet if Mama does have a little meltdown, though. If they're not busy standing in the corner laughing behind their hands.
