hey pirate...
if your peers suggest that something seems off kilter...maybe something is off kilter...
just a thought
doesn't mean it has to be a deluge of angst
just something is off

people calling you on it
means they are paying attention
nobody is your jiminy cricket

we all just are hanging in the same neighborhood

every year my kids get footied pajamas...
i figured that at 11 and 12 they would be too old...

not so much

they were plenty upset when their pj boxes weren't under the tree

needless to say...they are now

sometimes it is the small and predictable that make holidays great...pickles in the tree and footied pjs underneath
