This graffiti was scrawled across the wall of a gentleman’s club down the street. I’d love to know the back story.

Willow helps himself
We have an old cat, named Willow. He is crotchety, snaggletoothed, loud as anything when displeased, and very clever.
Best cat ever.
This old can just calmly walked across my lap, narrowly avoiding the sleeping baby, and returned carrying the bone from the pork chop I’d just eaten. He did it in such a casual way that I almost didn’t notice.
Well played. Almost had to let you win that one.

Emo earns her keep
I spilled some trail mix while feeding Monster Hands and couldn’t pick it up. Fortunately, there was a chicken in the house who came to the rescue. And then tried to roost on my lap, with the baby. That last part needs work.

Strange vandalism
Someone wrote “I want ur deck,” (or was it “duck”?) in green window marker, on the passenger window of our old station wagon.
The car was parked on the street near our house. We have neither any sort of deck on the house, nor a tape deck in the car, nor a duck.

Sleepless in Seattle
Monster Hands thinks making faces is fun. Trying to sit up without assistance is fun. Kicking is fun. Being carried in loops around the diningroom is fun. This is all especially fun in the middle of the night.
You know what else is fun? SLEEPING! I know, let’s *try* it, so we can have an informed discussion based on common experience.

Seen around town
It appears that we can capture the police in glass cups as a means to end tyranny. True?
(This flier was pasted to a telephone pole near our doctor’s office.)

Microwave problems
Yesterday, at 3:31 am, while attempting to heat a cup of water in the dark as I soothed a crying infant, I managed to enable the child lock feature on my beloved microwave and render it completely inoperable. I didn’t even know there was such a thing. This was easily fixed, but not until the following morning when I could actually look up the unlock procedure. No hot water for me until then.
Today, I got up to feed Monster Hands at 2 am and spent a good hour afterward walking in circles through the house, holding her at just the angle she required, until she finally started falling asleep at 3:25. At 3:31, before I could safely put the baby down, the microwave began beeping frantically.
Apparently, when I child locked the microwave 24 hours ago, I also set a “reminder” to commemorate the occasion on its 24 hour anniversary.
