I sure didn't expect to see you at 3:30 am, but the kitty decided to wake me up to play. Because I let Maymay sleep with me last night, I've got a wide awake kiddo who managed to find another Titanic documentary for us to watch.  

Just another day in paradise.

Maymay:  Momma, will you watch a movie wif me if it isn't Titanic?

Me:  Of course hon. Whatcha wanna watch?

Maymay:  Titanic 2.

Me:  <hanging my head in quiet resignation>  Ok.

I go to wake up Maymay and she is fully dressed, including her coat. I ask the obvious question, " why are you wearing your coat?" She looked up at me and said, "because I can".

Watching another teen Disney show with Maymay, and they have a stormtrooper, R2D2 and C3PO! Maymay is laughing hysterically at my sudden interest in her show, and says "maybe THIS is why Disney bought Star Wars".

Yeah.....I seriously think George Lucas made his insanely lucrative deal because he likes Ant Farm.

Maymay had the most MASSIVE meltdown at school today. (and of course started again tonight) Discussing the tragedy in her class, the subject was brought up that the shooter was autistic and bullied in school. Kids were very vocal about him being a loser and what they should do to people like that. Maymay just seemed to hear that autistic kids that have been bullied are losers and should be killed/beaten up/terrible bad things. 

While I truly believe the teacher reigned in the class, my kiddo didn't hear much else other than she is a loser that everyone hates. 

So, please do me a huge favor. If you could find it in your heart to reach out and be kind to someone suffering with mental illness, a neurological disorder, someone lonely....just please reach out and let them know you give a damn.

Thank you.

Maymay's idea of a joke: turn on Titanic, lock the channel, hide the remote, go to bed.

The child is brilliant.

Maymay:  Momma, can you help me feel better? (she's sick and running a fever)

me:  aww baby, I'm trying. Do you need something?

Maymay:  Yes, I need to watch Titanic cause it makes me feel happy.

me:  (as I hang my head in resignation) ok hon.
