I like Open House nights at the High School. Elementary and Middle School teachers use Open House nights to read rules and sternly lecture parents as if parents are too stupid to read and incapable of parenting their own children. Middle school teachers and administrators are terrified by technology and scold parents on the dangers […]
1. Check 2. Call 911 3. Care Do NOT call “The Wolf” if you want to help the person who is sick or injured.
Every night, Evan starts out in the crib and ends up in our bed. No, that’s not accurate. He starts out in the crib, strips naked and gets taken out of the crib to be diapered and dressed again. He goes back in the crib for a repeat strip and finally back in the crib […]

Being obnoxious parents who call, send e-mails and have teacher conferences, we get to know our children’s teachers. This year, one of the children has a teacher who we’ve known for years. He has been in […]
Please do not end LOST the way you ended Cloverfield. I don’t need answers for all of the questions about the island and it’s residents.
