Random things I have been wondering about:
I wonder where I can get Cate Blanchette’s wardrobe from Tár. Please Santa ?
My daughter is a social worker in a middle school She recently had to meet with a boy who was showing porn to the girls on the bus. Specifically, a woman having sex with a squid. And no, I am not wondering about having sex with a squid. But I do wonder how hard life must be today for young girls and the pressure they must feel in such an accessible perverted world.
I have two infant grandsons. I have noticed that when someone suspects a dirty diaper, the first thing they do is to sniff the baby’s butt. I wonder at what age that crosses into an arrestable offense : )
A few years ago, Martha and I decided that getting a real Christmas tree was getting too much for us to handle. So how did we end up with this artificial tree that takes all our strength to get down from the attic and is so tall that we need to get up on a ladder to install and decorate it?
And I wonder this too:
That's a big friggin tree, but it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat last quote is so beautiful as well. I never thought of it like that but it makes so much sense. Thank you.
Wow! What a tree.
ReplyDeleteWhy indeed.
ReplyDeleteThat tree!
My daughter has been stating she wants to put up the tree this weekend. I'm keeping quiet, feeling she will forget or just not follow-through. (too early for me). :-)
I'm staying away from that baby butt sniffing thing. Those days....oy.
The tree is beautiful and yes, super tall! My artificial tree is about 3 - 4 feet tall. Very manageable, and no ladder required despite my height deficiency.
ReplyDeleteYour poor daughter, to have to deal with that on a frequent basis. It's a rough world for girls and women everywhere. Too bad it has gotten so much worse. Someday we will rise up and put an end to these behaviors. Probably when we figure out parthenogenesis.
I remember my older cousins putting their hand *in* the diaper to see what was lurking, so I guess sniffing is a better option???
So glad that you are maintaining your Cate Blanchet passion. Good to have a hobby! Lol.
That last quote tells a lovely truth. Yes, we should live like that.
Happy winter, my friend!
