Recreation (movie, game, maybe dinner)

We're to go out and see Shark Tale as soon as everybody's ready to go. I'm thinking we'll probably do supper afterwards.

I tried calling my blonder half; as scheduled, he was off gaming. He'd planned to play a necromancer. This is his gaming buddy from work.

The Little Fayoumis has been on fall break for a few days; right now, he's being very uncooperative over some math. I still think I have the best tactics for getting him to want to work, but I'm shuffled off into an administrative position, and I have no real authority.

Even though I'm the best teacher in the household.

Bitter much?

Shark Tale: Please try and remember the quote that Oscar says to the Shorties.... something about "that funky tone."

It made me laugh my butt off but now I can't remember enough of it to even Google it!


Administrative vs. Teaching: Sometimes very subtly guiding those who are teaching (if one cannot teach directly) works well. A "teach by proxy" if you will.

Sorry, I wasn't taking notes...

And things look to be getting better. Both parties are getting trained.

There are major downsides to informal/unacknowledged relationships. This is one of them. Since you're not "real" family, you are automatically considered to know less about him than anyone else.

mmmm ... I wouldn't say that's the case here.

It's more like the thing where you've not got the title, but you have got seniority on the one who does have the title, and everybody goes to the title, not to experience.

Ah yes, that one. (Boy that ticked me off when I was a tech.) I wasn't really happy with the way I put the other one anyway, so it's just as well that was wrong. =)

Yep.

*heavy sigh*

... had circumstances been set up for it to happen, I would have second-parent adopted him.
