Randomness
I suppose you can’t take your kid to the doctor and say “in many pictures, he looks like he’s consumptive.” Are the black-circled eyes allergies? Apnea? He does sleep; I haven’t noticed apnea. I dunno.

How does one gauge whether one should stand in line for 6 hrs to get an H1N1 vaccine for one’s child?

Lynn took Noah to a birthday party on Saturday, mostly. How she ended up fronting was, basically, because then she would get to wear what she wanted. (Goth mom!) She did fine and was really actually… social… with a group of mums I really like, and even put ice on a minor boo boo.
Despite the fact that nothing terrible happened, I still felt all weird and exposed and like we were ruining Noah’s social life by being an us rather than I.

She liked that so much she took Noah to the museum today, which would also probably have turned out mostly fine had there not been someone bald and bearded extending Hallowe’en by also having pointed ears and horns in an excellent - I mean really excellent, no joins visible - devil costume, except for the rest of him being normally clothed. For all I know he really was a devil. However this ended up with the following conversation:
Noah: Why does that man have horns on his head?
Lynn: Because he’s a devil. He might even be a devil named Satan… sometimes Lucifer, or Old Scratch. But probably he is a lesser demon. (MUCH INTERNAL POKING until Lynn adds, a little reluctantly) It’s a Hallowe’en costume.
Noah: What is he doing here?
Lynn: Reading about evolution and dinosaurs. (Well… he was!)
Demon guy: (Looks at Lynn to see if she really said that.)
Lynn, to Demon guy, sweetly: Keep up the good work!*

Yes, I suspect the system is busting out all over. It was bound to happen sometime.

Watched an episode of Superfriends in the restaurant, without volume. Noah kept asking me what would happen next. I don’t think I’d ever seen this episode, but I told him all the grown-up superheroes would get distracted and at 5 minutes before the end the monkey would help the Wonder Twins get un-tied-up so they could activate their powers and save all the other superheroes.
At about 5 minutes to the hour the Wonder Twins actually activated their powers through the monkey’s nose (go to 7:20) and… yeah. It’s good to know all those Saturday mornings were not for naught.
* P.S. Yes, probably a brief correction about not commenting on people’s horns should have been delivered. But - horns!

Love your superfriends divination.
Am contemplating that same H1N1 vaccine question. Our doctor’s office said they would have it starting next week and would be running their own clinics. That should only take about 2 hours, I figure. Maybe check if your doctor is doing something similar.
Six hours? I would bail. I’d feel bad about it, but I’d totally bail.
Wilder’s dark circles are 100% allergies. It’s a classic sign.
