If it IS constipation, you could try giving him a couple of cups of strong coffee. That is a natural type of laxative as we all probably know already.

@footfootfoot

Your post reminded me of a joke (which I thought was George Carlin's but I can't find any cite...) about the two most expressive and versatile words in the English language: shit and fuck.

"You don't fuck? Shiiit. You don't shit? Fuuuuck!"

Hector was named to the Varsity team for the Water Polo game tomorrow. He may end up bench warming, but not bad for a tiny sophomore on the second game of the year

(The rosters for V and JV fluctuate, official varsity and lettering depend on making the post-season roster but this is a step in the right direction -he played fantastically on the JV last week, scored 2 and impeded some bruiser oppos)

I'm always proud of my kids, but some days that's qualified with a comparison of where they "could" be. Today, however, it's just straight up proud of both of them.

1.) Minifobette's Spanish teacher came all the way out to the car to tell me that she just unexpectedly spewed whole sentences in class today, basically as well as she speaks English, and

2.) Minifob is currently watching this video, of his own volition, with great fascination:



They are such smart monkeys.

I let my wife figure out what to buy and I just take the credit!

I sent my son a new camera last month as they didn't own one. It's the same Canon mirror-less I have. Glad I did, he sent me a few this morning. I took the liberty of a little post processing in LR.
