insults of the urban child
I overheard kindergartener Lola calling her big sister "You crazy cabdriver!" the other day.
Which brings up the questions, did the house sell? How much? What are the new neighbors like? Do you still have the sociopathic contractor voodoo doll?
That house DID sell some time ago, and I guess it got its asking price. The man who bought it is, as my next-door neighbor noted, "either really stuck up or very shy." Why a very shy person would choose to live in a building without the possibility curtains is something to ponder.

Oh wow, too cute!
I guess that's better than something that hits a little too close to home, like "sociopathic contractor". :-)

At least it wasn't something vulgar! Kids these days are mean!

He might be embarrassed by the self inflicted bruises for buying real estate near the peak of the market.
I'm filing away this insult for later use!
By the way, can you tell me more about the drawings on your site, the ones of the very relaxed woman + cat? I really like them.
