Don, and when the odd bat gets into the house, always very memorable. Bat Stories. But all you have to do is open doors and windows, turn out the lights and they fly out.

I hope you don't think I'm a "homophobe" because I agree with akenaton's main points. In fact, my grandson's Mon-Fri daytime childcare provider is Jeffrey who is openly gay and a close friend of the other grandmother. No one in my family has a problem with it and we all love Jeffrey. Carter has done extremely well in Jeffrey's care for the past 3 years. Now, other grandma pays for Jeffrey, having noticed that the young parents liked to stay up too late at night and then regularly argue about who's going to tend to Carter in the AM. We responsible adults work together on our objectives.

Listen, Jeffrey has turned out to be a tremendous help with our efforts to teach Carter how to treat other people and use his language wisely. You can communicate with Jeffrey, trust him. That's why he's getting the new baby too. I'm sure he'll be sad to lose Carter to preschool. Who is going to lead the dancing? And Jeffrey took the kids out to wave at President Obama's motorcade! They do activities, make crafts, have a routine. Jeffrey took on this role because that's what he really wanted to do. The asshole even takes vacations, in which case, Bubbe gets double time.
