getting old sucks

Ryan had a moment last night in which he realized that most people on TV are younger than he is. Not a capital-M moment, just an uncomfortable realization.

The capital-M moment came when he found a gray hair somewhere other than on top of his head.

still other things we learn in kindergarten, but later forget

Going down a three-story carnival slide in a sundress gives you three stories' worth of slideburn on your ass.

In Which I Discuss My Undergarments

Today I am wearing a billionaire's socks.
Actually, according to Forbes he's not quite a billionaire (a mere 800-plus-millionaire), which is a touchy subject, but nevertheless he's so wealthy that he apparently feels it would be beneath him to wear the same pair of socks twice. This is, by the way, my husband's former employer we're talking about, which is how I came to be in possession of some of his discarded socks, because I have what could be described as RCD, Recycling Compulsive Disorder, and they are Perfectly Good Socks.

other things we learn in kindergarten

 "Mom, what does fuckit mean?"
 "Who says 'fuck it'?"
 "Landon. What does it mean? Is that the f-word?"
 "Alec, that's a very very bad word and you must not ever say it. And I don't think you should be friends with Landon."
"But what does it mean??"
 "It's so bad, I don't even know what it means. But you don't ever say it. If you say that word, everyone will think you're mean and bad, and you will have to go see Mr. Forsberg."
"If it's a bad word, could I say it to bad guys?"
"Maybe so. But only the worst bad guys ever. Only if there were alien bad guys from outer space with laser eyeballs who wanted to eat you. Then you could say fuck it."
"Okay. Thanks, Mom!"
