contrary to popular belief i think calvin's adhd is, funnily enough, medicated. he takes extended release ritalin every morning alongside his chocolate frosted sugar bombs. this is because he appreciates being more easily able to focus on his various Schemes, Projects, and Machinations while more effectively ignoring schoolwork

calvin's dad pulling up to the house and seeing the whole driveway covered in a (completed) snowman recreation of the entire terracotta army and he takes a deep breath and greets calvin's mom with "i see calvin remembered his methylphenidate today"

neighbor: How are you enjoying working at [name of my museum]?
me: It's great! The only downside is that the kids who come in are... really good at sharing.
neighbor: Oh, is that why you have whooping cough?
me: It's a cold, but yes

I just want to point out that this is the third cold I've had since starting there in January. I had about two days of rest between #2 and #3.

I knew this was going to happen. It takes a while for your immune system to harden off when you've got kids coming from a different part of the state every day.

So I was sitting outside on the front stoop with my housemate, using my blending board to put together some new rolags to spin. Three middle school aged boys came bouncing down the street and ran right up to ask what I was doing. I explained it to them, and two of them were like "okay" and started running on. The third one stayed and looked up at me.

"Are you an Israelite?" he asked.

"I don't think so," I said.

"Do you know what that is?"

"No, can you tell me?"

He leaned against my railing and nodded seriously. "Being an Israelite means you get given a command by God," he said. "And then you gotta go out and do that."

"That sounds really cool," I said. "Are you an Israelite?" He nodded seriously again and then ran to rejoin his friends.

I have no idea what just happened, but I hope that kid enjoys his command from God, whatever it is.

One of my new favorite bits of patter for tours is to start off by saying "The past is a different country" and asking the students what they think I mean when I say that.

After they give me some answers, I explain that what I mean is that "The past has a very different culture from ours, and things that we think are unacceptable now might have been seen as normal to some people then. There are parts of the past's culture that will probably make you feel very uncomfortable. They might make you upset or angry. But I want you to know that hating the past does nothing to change it. If parts of that past culture feel wrong or uncomfortable to you, then the best thing you can do is look for ways in the present to avoid those practices and beliefs appearing today."
