Developmentally (in)appropriate

It may not make sense to those of you with “normal” kids, but we always have to do a little celebration around here whenever we see “typical teen” behavior, given that whole asynchronous-development thing that tends to leave my special snowflakes lagging behind their peers in various ways.

So anyway, I had a touch of food poisoning or something, and Otto went out and bought me some crystallized ginger because he’s sweet, and then Monkey took it upon himself to enhance the label. I tried to get mad when I saw this, because COME ON, really? But on the other hand, it made me laugh, because WAY TO GO TOTALLY NORMAL AND DISGUSTING TEENAGE BOY. Well played.

    Does anyone else suddenly hear the theme song from Arrested Development in their head?

    And I have to admit, Ginger and Cane Sugar are great stripper names, but I am concerned about Cane Sugar and her raw orgy! (Can we tell I am an adolescent boy at heart??)

    So a crystallized orgy would be like a winter fest kind of thing?

    Happy weekend, feel better!

    Yup. Here too. He’ll be 14 tomorrow and it’s sex jokes left and right lately. I’m only a little bit horrified and a whole lot of relieved that it’s normal teenaged behavior, in a life that is not always normal. :)
    Hope you feel better.
