saw this horrifying image. it reminded me of bill’s future beach episode outfit. i think the mouth crotch on this one might just be the only thing worse than an eyeball.
would you believe I've already drawn it
somebody in a server shared that and i went "well clearly I've got to recolor my last bathing suit picture."
the most 'humanity is beautiful' moment i've had in a long time:
a woman is swinging her toddler around while he laughs, and his little hat flies off into the grass. a passerby picks it up and places it back on his head. the mom smiles in thanks, and the game continues.
Reasons a nine-year-old yelled at me this week (Which should be taken a good natured grousing ala this list because we had a lovely time):
The Amtrak takes too long
We had to walk more than five blocks
There was a line to get into a restaurant
There was a line to get into a show
I said they did not have scientific evidence to back up a claim they made (this got my foot stomped on because I “said they didn’t know science” and we had to have a talk about asymmetrical retaliation and mutually assured destruction)
I told them we weren’t going to take a cab three blocks
It “doesn’t make sense” that the streets are numbered and on a grid
It’s hot
There were no pancakes at breakfast
It’s still hot
We were walking and she got dripped on by an awning and that was my fault for “walking her into the drips”
I said fuck
I jaywalked
I made HER jaywalk
I stepped into the street to hail a taxi and that’s not safe
We didn’t ride the cyclone on Coney Island (she threw up on the ride before and we were done)
We needed to get her out of the clothes she threw up in but we were in Chinatown and had to find a private place to change
We threw away her vomit dress
I asked her not to read at the breakfast table
I told her not to stare at the man who was injecting himself with something and keep walking
It’s not hot anymore and now she’s cold
I don’t speak Gaelic
I didn’t try to save Peri when he had cancer and that reminded her that her dog will die some day (this nearly made me cry, but I held it together enough to explain that when you are a pet owner you have to make the decisions that are right for the pet and not the ones you want to be right)
Not all the queens in Six did stage door
Once again I am reminded that I am not cut out for parenting and am glad to be home with my cat
But here is a sweet picture of an exhausted child and her aunt.
