I was run over in the driveway by my dad—driving a steel-framed International Harvester Scout II

At 2y, I was lucky the truck rolled over my torso instead of my head, right? Ribs still cartilaginous, I flattened but only broke my pelvis, clavicle, & wrist

I am 53 & in constant pain

Even recounting it makes my stomach churn frfr

It was the most tedious few wks of my life—& I’ve been thr grad school 🤓🫠

I was trying to teach him what racism really is (bc I had triggered him w a Fb post) & made good progress until he Got It…& applied his Fred Flintstone brakes

Looks like someone has been interviewing my mom, again.

The photo I’m using for the group text between my Republican mom & our family

Meantime, I just declined an offer for a Belgian waffle breakfast with my aunt with the excuse that I don’t care to socialize with the modern equivalent of Nazi apologist church potluck ladies

My very good boy, Jack—aka Jack Jack, Jackadoodle doo, Jack Baur, Catticus/Fatticus Finch, Buddy, & Baby—is on to his next adventure. 🌧️🌈🐈‍⬛

I wonder what the difference between the identified gun-carrier and the identity-protected murderer is?

We looked @ Teslas in ‘09 but everything I read abt Elon’s train-tunneling plans in CA gave me big Music Man vibes—& he has since worked hard to reinforce every negative impression

My dad bought this car in ‘21 to prove to me he’s an environmentalist…now it’s mine. I’d sell it if we could afford to

We’ll’ve made it 20 years on June 3—prepping the slideshow now

“Now, this is not my award-winning "The History of Propane" slide show, but it's the next best thing: my marriage to Mrs. Peggy Hill. I call it "Twenty Years of Outstanding Service."

I don’t so much wish to die from time to time as much as I deeply regret ever having been born

Except for my kids
And my kind husband
And my snoring cat
And my thermos
And this ashtray
And this paddleboard
And this chair
And these flowers

My subversive nature manifested early: My first word was “NO!” &, at 2.5 yo, I ran in front of the International Scout my dad was driving down the driveway

If I had been a Patriot, I would have made sure to self-inflict fatal injuries so as to return all family attention to the first born son

Waiting for our kid’s penultimate placement in the 100 yard dash is still pretty nice
