RElax about the girl. Most girls will say icky at the thought of playing with your pee. Mom says that to, she had 2 boys and then a girl. i dint like bugs either. About #20. We LOVE monk. My mom even told me to tell you that you were monkish. I like how you made it #20, thats a nice even number. Monk would approve. Plus youre not THAT monkish. Not as much as him. WE have a friend kind of like you .2 boys 2 years apart and then a girl. She was afraid to. It will be okay

Three things I should have known about you when you were Room Mom: 1. Slave to schedule. That I could have put to good use in my very go with the flow way.
2. OCD. Lady, have you seen my cabinets? I am an, "Ok, that's over, no time to clean, gotta teach the next thing!" type of gal. Could use a little more OCD in my life.
3. Obsession with untied shoes. I could have helped cure that with 5 minutes in the teacher chair. With some things, you gotta let the natural consequences take over. (Besides, 20 kids + 2 feet = 40 laces. And velcro on boys?! Every lesson is a cacophony.)

You're gonna love that girl!

I have OCD too (but, I ~whispering~ take medicine to help with it…and it helps with the violent mood swings, and the down and out depression, etc!!). I love that the above commenter had “the gift of bugs” on her mission! That is a fabulous term!!
I was looking at pictures from the 1st grade circus, and saw you in them!! I will have to post them on facebook!!

Just wanted to clarify. #1 is all yours. I don’t really use those words much unless i’m about to have a baby myself, and well…Joel never does.

The reason why I like you so much is that half of these points I could have written myself, and the other half could have been written by Joel. Who is my other favorite person besides you.

Except the going on a mission because of bugs thing. I didn't want to go on a mission because I was afraid of sharing the Gospel. (See your #17) However, even though there were tons of bugs and I HATE them all and I can't even look at a cockroach, on my mission I totally had the gift of bugs. They didn't bother me at all.

You'll do fine with a girl. And if you don't, maybe I'll just have to come up there and help you. I'm very experienced in the mothering of girls.
