The list starting with hugging and backslapping and moving on to genital squeezing is really reminding me of that joke about the guy who moves into a cabin in the woods, and two days after he moves in, a guy shows up on his doorstep. "I saw the smoke from your chimney, and thought I'd hike over from the next ridgeline to invite you to a party I'm having."

"Why, thanks."

"I have to warn you, there's going to be some drinking."

"Not a problem, it wouldn't be a party without it."

"And some drugs."

"I don't indulge myself, but I certainly have in the past; doesn't bother me a bit."

"And some swearing."

"Shit, man, who doesn't swear?"

"And some rough, dirty sex."

"What the hell? Who's going to be at this party?"

"Just you and me."

When Keegan was about 3, I went to pick him up at the daycare, and the teacher pulled me aside for a brief talk. Apparently, they'd come around the corner and found him and one of his female classmates playing show and tell, IYKWIM. The teacher said she didn't want to make a big deal about it, but that they had talked to the two of them about it and didn't want us to wonder what had happened if he brought it up later.

So anyhow, we're driving home and I ask him, "Hey, what happened today with J------?"

He gives a God-not-this-again sigh and explains, as if he's talking to an idiot, "I forgot not to take out my penis."

"Well, could we try to remember that from now on?"

"Okay, sure."

Okay, so from the linked article:

Stan Lindstedt, a professor of biology at Northern Arizona who served on the search committee that chose Cargol, said he thought the regents were snowed by Cargol's obvious "charisma" -- an intangible quality that would have made him a potentially fine fund raiser.

impatient scornful sigh

See, this is exactly right, but still surprises me. I don't remember being scornful, or even especially impatient when I was a kid, but now it seems de rigeur at maybe 4 but certainly by 6.

Is it seeing harried parents that does it to the kids? But my parents were harried, though not themselves habitually scornful. I am pretty scornful, though I try to moderate with the kid. If it's mimicry of parental scorn, this place and my friends are the wrong control group. Maybe I need to make friends at a church or a temple or something.

Second-grade graduation? Holy crap. That might barely be conceivable if he's leaving a K-2 school and entering a 3-8 school, if any such schools exist.

My middle school had the equivalent of a prom for a while, but cancelled it my year because the principal was disgusted by how much people were spending on dresses and limos and stuff.

I have to say that on the subject of elementary school graduations (where the kids are going to return to the same school), my views are summed up by The Incredibles surprisingly well.

38: Agreed.

40: Basically they have a whole school graduation thing. Which makes sense for, say, kindergartenders and 8th graders (at one point I guess made sense for 5th graders on their way to middle school). I was surprised (and kind of irritated) to find out that it was supposed to be everyone; it's the down side of the "We are a Community" thing that is just a wee bit overhyped at this school.

B,

Perhaps the little guy didn't know how much he would miss Mommy and is now using the "graduation" as a means to discuss his separation anxiety.

Maybe nobody knew beforehand and nobody is guilty.

Either way talking now about the separation feelings is a good thing and I bet you've already covered that angle.

You are a good Mom. Relax.

Y'know, I'm going to go ahead and quote this without context. Just because.

I grabbed a handful of my own semen out of Mother Teresa and flung it at the oncoming cops. They all got instantly pregnant and fell over. Even the men.

"I've had better," said Mother Teresa, sparking a match off her nipple and lighting up a joint.

It was then I knew I had to kill everyone in the city. With my penis.

I flexed my flaming meathammer. The road cracked in half. The cops exploded. So did the buildings. Everybody died.

Except me.

Result.

The end. Fuck off.
