   I watched a cute movie, “Babysitters Beware”. It’s not a great movie, but it’s a lot of fun. It’s about a boy who is generally a “good boy” but wants to get on the “bad” list for babysitters so that his parents will spend more time with him. Danny Trejo plays one of the babysitters.

   I remember a later strip where someone saw a single snowflake, and all of the kids ran for their winter gear. The last panel was them all standing around that one, single snowflake. (I don’t know the original date, but it aired here on 3/25/2017.)

   My husband works 3rd shift so our bed is almost always in use…and yet, I STILL feel the need to make the bed. I sleep better in a made, neatened bed.

   Those are dimples. I remember when I was a child all of my baby dolls had butt-dimples.

   The only thing worse than pressuring kids to get straight A’s is to pressure younger siblings to be like their older siblings. I was an A-B-sometimes C student, my older sisters were straight A’s, but one of my older brothers, if he got a C, we treated it like an A. My parents never pressured him to be like our sisters. With my daughters, I was fortunate. Not only were they both almost all A’s with the occasional B or 2, but they would often bring home the same grades (like 3 A’s and 2 B’s, only in different classes). The strangest thing is, they got the exact same score on their SATs!

   Did you hear that they changed the alphabet song? They changed when the breaks were, spaced out the LMNO more and changed the words at the end from “Now I know my ABCs; next time won’t you sing with me” to “Now I never will forget, how to say the alphabet.”

    At one point I made a deal with my daughters. They had to be IN BED at a certain time; what they did while there was another matter. As long as they were healthy, happy, bringing in their average grades, and didn’t give attitude, it was all good. My older daughter would read, journal, whatever, & usually still be up at 11 (she’s still capable of running on very little sleep); her sister would be out almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
