Apt or Ironic, Depending on the Day. Monday, September 30, 2013. Zeke got a Happy Meal on Saturday, with a Batman toy. He put in on an outside table while he ran into use the bathroom.

SwindleFun: March 2013
http://swindlefun.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Apt or Ironic, Depending on the Day. Tuesday, March 26, 2013. One thing I am not good at is telling time on an analog clock. I never learned to do it properly, and I used to shrink in fear in school that someone would ask me and I wouldn't know. I remember the day we learned to say the time in French when I was in seventh grade- I sat there staring at the clock, terrified that Mr. Gregoire would call on me. For example, yesterday at Costco I dropped off a printer cartridge to be refilled at the photo desk.

Mrs H, I have been thinking about why it is just so hard for me to focus and get the right answers sometimes. It is because I am so tall, and the blood just can't get all the way to the top of my head. Zeke has a high-pit...
