The boys are playing a game in the backyard which involves all of them getting hit by tennis balls repeatedly. When this happens, they almost always yell “Oh, my nuts!” whether or not there was a direct hit on the package.

I finally went out there and told them that this wasn’t something the neighbors probably wanted to hear all afternoon, and I thought the matter was settled.

However, now they’re out there yelling “Oh, my testicles!” which, while making me laugh incredibly hard, is probably at about the same level annoying-the-neighbor-wise.

It Gets Better

October 4, 2010

in Life

This is such a powerful message for GLBT kids. I love Dan Savage for starting the It Gets Better Project.

If you’re gay or lesbian or bi or trans and you’ve ever read about a kid like Billy Lucas and thought, “Fuck, I wish I could’ve told him that it gets better,” this is your chance. We can’t help Billy, but there are lots of other Billys out there—other despairing LGBT kids who are being bullied and harassed, kids who don’t think they have a future—and we can help them.

They need to know that it gets better. Submit a video. Give them hope.

Beautiful.

UPDATE: here’s a video submitted by Tim Gunn describing his suicide attempt at age 17.

Craig has a thing about seeing where the emergency exits lead to after a movie. I’m here to tell you that sometimes they go nowhere. (oh, and also that you should see the A List – fantastic!)

Yesterday we biked over to the Sunday farmer’s market and of course the boys needed a snack before heading home. Hey, at least it was *organic* fro-yo ;)
