Learning

Used to think:
Food allergies are total bullshit. People just want to have an excuse for their child's poor behavior or want to elicit false sympathy from people by making up a crazy ailment.
Understand now:
Um... yeah. With a daughter failing to absorb any of the food we were putting into her body which was working so hard to reject all of the gluten she was taking in, years of tummy aches, diarrhea, slow growth, spitting up, and colick, we finally learned. Yes, there is such a thing as food allergies.

Used to think:
Why do people need to child proof? Can't you just teach your kids not to touch things? Seriously.
Understand now:
Can't... stop... laughing... at... me.

Used to think:
Why are little boys so dirty and why do they always have bruises? Don't their parents watch them? Jeeze.
Understand now:
Boys are made entirely out of gale-force wind, mud, and piss.
