Additionally, the authors of said bill had to come out with a statement saying that they’re confused about how the bill is being enacted and asking for clarification about their own bill, the subtext being very clear that they thought it would just be used against, y’know, woke stuff
Dear Commissioner Morath, As the authors of Senate Bill 12, which took effect on September Ist, we write regarding concerns with the implementation of certain provisions of the bill. The focus of Senate Bill 12 is protecting and strengthening parental rights across their child's educational experience. As you and your team are aware, the Legislature included protections for a parent's right to consent to any medical, psychiatric and psychological treatment of their child. This included obtaining parental consent to provide healthcare services, medication, or conduct a medical procedure. Many concerned parents, educators and administrators alike have reached out to our offices regarding the implementation of this specific provision, with questions about what is and is not required and/or allowed under the new law. The most concerning reports are that some school districts are taking an "all or nothing" approach parents must consent to all healthcare and mental health services and treatment or none. While we understand and appreciate the fact that school districts are being careful to faithfully implement the provisions of the bill, we are equally concerned that some school districts seem to be reluctant to provide even the most basic first aid to their students. Importantly, it is our hope and expectation that, in an effort to comply with the provisions of the bill, school districts would also use simple common sense. Specifically, we are concerned of some reports that indicate school districts are withholding band-aids and ice packs for students with minor scratches and scrapes. Clearly, there is a distinct difference from providing a student with an ice pack, as opposed to other injuries that would necessitate medical attention, including the dispensing of medication that should require consent on file before providing it to a child. We understand that the Texas Board of Nursing has also received questions on these provisions of Senate Bill 12. We have also receiv…

The correct answer is: “I like strawberries.” Were you close? Please find the annotated translation attached.
A drawing of Goose saying, “other-donkey, Elsa likes macaroni kiko.” It is heavily annotated: Other-donkey: a portmanteau of “other mommy” and “donkey.” She called me donkey and I accidentally laughed when I responded “I’m your other mommy,” prompting the evolution of the bit. She has been calling me this for a few hours now. Other mommy: “other mommy” is the name goose uses to differentiate me from my wife (“mommy”). The names are largely interchangeable but I get “other mommy” a little more often and now I’m fond of it. Note: no relation to Coraline/evolved independently Donkey: Goose has been repeating the word “donkey” because it’s fun to say. ie: donkey donkey donkey donkey. Elsa: She is wearing her Elsa dress (again) and pretending to be Elsa. Here she is talking about herself in the third person. The “Elsa dress” (pictured, a dress with a face on the chest) is a blue dress with frills. It does not look like the dress Elsa wears in Frozen, but it does have her face on the front. She has been dancing to “let it go” or a half hour. (Pictured, Lucy dancing in the dress. She says, “Elsa’s making her frozen castle!”) Likes macaroni: macaroni, here, is strawberries. She selected 4 strawberries from the container in the fridge and asked me to cut them up for her. I put them on a plate and cut them into sixths (the way she likes). (Includes an illustration of the process) when I handed her the plate of sliced strawberries, she said “these are macaroni.” “Ok,” I said. Macaroni: no precedent. She had macaroni a few times last week? We ate at restaurants more than usual while at the shore and it was all she wanted from any given menu. Kiko: we went to the shore last week and the town we stayed in had the type of crossing signals that beep and talk. She was fascinated by these and “kiko” is how she imitated the beeping sound the signal made while waiting for it to give us a walk signal. Her fascination has led to her framing most declarative sentences as crossing s…
