Haha. I found this post because I work in Elder Care/Housing, and I was thinking that the “sundowning” seen in dementia patients is so close to the way my pretoddler acts at night. Very funny!

Glad to hear that — not that I almost made you laugh in the ‘brary but that it’s obviously not serious. You must know one of “those people” yourself then.

I had no idea I’d been freshly pressed until you told me so! And then I had to go look up what “freshly pressed” meant! Thanks for letting me know (and thanks for the nice comment, too)!

Hi. You don’t know me, but I was browsing through your blog (congrats on being freshly pressed, btw) and came across this. Honestly hilarious. I had to hold in my chuckles in the library. Seeing your comment above, I just wanted to reassure you that nobody in their right mind should take this seriously. It’s hysterical! Again, congrats on FP!

This was a blast to read.

I remember acting out in preschool and my parents with their “She’s just bored” comeback.
Patience is the virtue, I suppose.

I have totally worried about that! It makes me feel very good that you get excited about my blogs. I just haven’t felt moved to blog for quite some time now. It’s a phase — but it’s been a long one. I hope you and yours are well!

I think it would be funny if someone came across this and didn’t know you or your blog and thought you were serious. I always get excited when you pop up in my reader!

Thanks, Gibby! Even my husband when he was reading it thought at first that I was really serious! Pathetically, this whole post was prompted by me being that “ordinary” person who got passed at the four-way stop and cut off in the roundabout. I made up a whole fiction in my head on the way home, because I couldn’t chase this super-mom down and rear-end her minivan.

So weird…I think your daughter would be such good friend with my one-in-a-million, too!

Love this post, made me laugh out loud! Spot on.
