Isaac and I are wrestling with sites trying to pay for his AP exams. Which exams? I don’t know, I haven’t been paying any attention, I’m terrible at basically all parenting.

Isaac: now your Gmail isn’t coming up.
Me: you broke it!
Isaac: YOU broke it!
Me: it was fine. and now the internet doesn’t work, because of you.
Isaac: *attempting to login* at ( Read more... )

Isaac came into the kitchen. I am sitting at the table working here. He noticed I was sad. He came over and hugged me, towering over me. He’s probably six feet tall now.

Me: *shaking head no against his stomach.*
Isaac: *gently* do you want to talk about why?
Me: no not yet
Isaac: *petting my head* that’s okay. You will feel better ( Read more... )

In-person school has resumed for the bigkids. (Except Isaac’s university classes are still online-only.)

Saul: *spears a sausage for his plate*
Isaac: *holding out a forestalling hand* halt, traveler.
Saul: ...

Isaac: ...

He has a cell phone and he sometimes shaves and he's almost six feet tall

Isaac shanghaied me into playing Jackbox tonight with him and Raffie and Patrick. (I also got Ben joined in long distance at the end.)

It was actually really fun. The t-shirt game was my favorite. I kept making up bizarre slogans and pictures and Raffie would end up combining them in hilarious ways. My new band name is Robot Fun With Delicious ( Read more... )

Isaac: *watching Saul play the lego movie game* Mom, how does Wonder Woman fly? Like, what makes her able to fly?
Me: ...maaaagic?
Isaac: ....
Me: Isaac, she's made out of clay and animated by a god, so...
Raphael: *pointing out* but that's also all hu-mons?
Me: ...well. good point.
Me: ...Maybe her god just liked her more.
