Pie had pizza, salad, and a whoopie pie last night. Oddly enough, it was apparently the salad that gave her a stomach ache.<\/p>\n

I have my own name plate and name tag for Adam’s HBS 5 year reunion, in case I want to go to any academic presentations. The boy came in this morning wearing my name tag. “Monkey boy,” he said to me, “you need to get ready for school!” <\/p>\n
“Huh?” I said. <\/p>\n
“Look,” he said, pointing to his tag. “I’m Jenny Brown. Get ready for school!”<\/p>\n
I laughed. “You, Mom, need to go drink your smoothie!”<\/p>\n
He smiled sweetly and said to me, “Sorry, but you can’t direct me, honey!”<\/p>\n

Adam took twenty minutes to decide what to wear to the reunion academic presentations today. “Can I wear jeans? Kevin’s dressed nicer. I should dress nicer. Should I wear khakis? I guess I’ll wear khakis. I feel so funny wearing khakis these days. Maybe I should wear nice jeans? I’ll wear the khakis.” He puts on the khakis and a blue-and-white shirt. “Maybe I’ll wear this tonight,” he says, at which point I told him I had enough and he wasn’t wearing a blue shirt and khakis to a friggin’ cocktail party if I had to wear a freakin’ cocktail dress. And then he<\/i> told me<\/i> to chill. And then I reminded him that all these events are optional<\/i> for me and he quickly backed down.<\/p>\n

Doodles announced that he wanted to go to the hardware store.<\/p>\n
Me: What for?
Doodles: I need stuff for my invention.
Me: What do you need.
Doodles: Just plastic and wood.
Me: Nothing else?
Doodles: That’s it.
Me: Do you have a plan for what you want to build?
Doodles: It’s all in my head.
Me: What is it?
Doodles: I’m going to build something special! It’s going to be a babysitting machine! And I’m going to make robots and they’ll watch the kids. And then I’m going to make these helicopters the robots will use!
Me: Oh?
Doodles: Yeah! So can we go get my wood and plastic now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
