Hector's inaugural season as a high school hockey goalie is almost over.... Senior Night (last home game) is next week. The Senior Goalie's mom told me that when they were asking the seniors for amusing anecdotes from their careers he asked if they had to be "appropriate". The answer was yes, but tell me the inappropriate ones. So he told her about the first time they played like crap this season and were whinging like hell and the coach was asking for comments. Apparently, the hitherto pretty silent Freshman Goalie (5foot nothing, 80lb) piped up and told them they all needed to "Grow A Pair". There was a shocked silence for a while....

I have no idea where he heard such a phrase (no really, it wasn't from me, I like to teach that you don't need "a pair" (or even one) to give it your all....) I admit the 'tude may be not entirely out of the blue....ish

and we're racking them up tonight..... Just watched the 12yo come out of his bedroom to get a drink of water. he held his left palm over his left eye the whole time while he turned the tap on, filled the cup, turned it off, drank.... with the right hand only.

Me: is your eye hurting?

Him: No, I'm just preserving my night vision so I won't be scared when I go back to bed....

"I was informed this morning by Opal's teacher:

Opal tried to cut her own hair yesterday. Opal's classmate saw it and ran to the teacher and told the teacher. Opal's teacher stop her, took the scissors away and told her not to do it again. Opal turn to her classmate pointed at her with her fingers and started to mimic scissors with her fingers cutting her hair and clothing. Pointed back at her classmate and said you are next... "

Fiesty little girl. She's only in pre-K.

Minifob's class did a project on poor children in Africa who can't afford shoes, including learning about the diseases and injuries that can happen.

Later, we are in Target, and we pass by a toddler in a stroller with no shoes on. Minifob points at her and shouts, "Mommy, she's going to get hookworms!"
