No worries...between aforementioned family and my students (whom I also refer to as my kids...wait, does that mean I'm a beleagured mother of 90????) I have no delusions of grandeur.

My son was telling my father a lovely story that went something like "Ka-zar (my shepard), ate the trash. Mommy is mean, she yelled so I stayed in the living room." Ah, the damage I am inflicting and he's only just turned 3!

(Mental note #2493 - don't discipline the dog in front of the children...hold on, they may get scared straight...correction ALWAYS discipline the dog in front of the children!!)
