Skipping past Writober and Nanoblomo . . ? Shit, I dunno. I'm as bored as you are.

‘Tis the Season
It’s birthday time, apparently, at Mia’s preschool. In the past week, we’ve gotten two invitations to birthday parties for classmates. The first one is this Saturday, and it’s for That Mean Boy Who Pushes Mia Down a Lot.
As Michelle and I have a history of attending social functions that we don’t want to be at, thrown by people we don’t really like, Mia seems to have inherited our Socially Curious Misanthrope gene. Observe:
Me: “Do you like TMBWPMDaL?”
Mia shakes her head.
Me: “But you want to go to his birthday party?”
Mia nods.
I guess to protect her as we protected ourselves in similar situations, we should send Mia to the party with a fifth of vodka. Or some Monte Alban.
