As an adult, before kids, I thought I had a good handle on my life and a fairly accurate understanding of human functioning. What I had was a story of how I believed things should be. There were right ways to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We lit fireworks last night and they were a tad pathetic. I am undertaking to improve our choosing techniques for next time. A little internet research, perhaps? Gabi took the whole thing personally because she had helped choose them and of course her brothers were very vociferous about their feelings. I tried intervening but it [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s a conversation I had with Gabi yesterday: &#8220;Our lunch ladies are so mean!&#8221; she said. &#8220;Why?&#8221; I asked. &#8220;They were teasing this girl I know and calling her fat and chubby and laughing,&#8221; she replied &#8220;What?! These are grown-ups, right?&#8221; I asked. &#8220;Yes. I [...]]]></description>
