[funny] Wisdom of the Niece
Two nights ago we got on the subject of things we are thankful for and she told me, “I’m thankful for the earth and all the planets. And I’m thankful for the solar system. But I’m not thankful for wormholes. They take you places and you can’t get back.”
Last night we got into a conversation about periods, she wondered about the blood and why it happened, so yes we did end up talking about ovaries and the uterus and how a woman’s body prepares for a baby and when it does not get pregnant we have a menstrual cycle. She noted that she didn’t have a period and we talked about how her body was still young and not ready to have a baby, and I told her was like those parts in her were still brand new and hadn’t been opened yet.
Then we talked about how even though your body thinks its ready in its teens, when most girls get their period for the first time, your mind still isn’t ready until years later. She talked some more about her body was still too young and I said yes, her parts were still in hibernation. She said, “No Mom, my ovaries aren’t hibernating. They are pointing at my stomach and my liver and laughing and saying, ha ha, you have to work and I don’t!”

[funny] Wisdom of the Niece, anent reading
The Niece, informing her mom this morning that now that she is in Kindergarten, she’s ready to read and this is how it works:
“I have a house in my head and all the people in my family who have died are there and in the cubinet (sic) they have a magic book that is the same as whatever book I am reading and when I need a work or a number, they take it and they put it on a boat and it floats down my bloodstream to my mouth and then I know what it is!”

[funny] Department of things which are ironically ironic
The chief symptom of my current shoulder problems is debilitating pain when I thoughtlessly reach past my currently limited range of motion, or grasp weight in certain ways. Unplugging a power cord with my left hand can send me to the couch in tears for several minutes, unable to move or think. This is why I was at the physical therapist yesterday.
So this morning, I was icing my left shoulder as instructed. On finishing the icing effort, I went to remove the ice bag from my shoulder, and it slipped away from my grip, where I immediately grabbed for it with my left hand.
Bingo! Debilitating pain! From my fricking ice pack!
Oh, irony, thy bite is cruel yet unloving.
