Around 2:15 last night, a pair of low-grade fucknuggets walked up and down our street smashing windows out of certain cars that had the ill fortune of being parked along the curb. As I suggest in the title . . . but wait, what reasons are there behind this act? What reasons that the neighbors can understand and perhaps sympathize with? Who--besides maybe a 19th-century lawyer trained in rhetoric and public address--could narrate this tale of hooliganism with enough empathy and caring and respect to make us, the startled neighbors, understand the hooligans' motives?
I'm not up to that challenge. The bastards woke me up.

A Slowly Growing List of Things to Look Forward To When You Have a Child
- Every day is either Christmas or Halloween or Birthday or Easter
- Leave those cats alone! They're going to scratch you and it will hurt
- You cannot lie under circumstances, but nor can you tell the literal truth
- Geez that kid is sharp
- Can I have cake? Can I have cake? Can I have cake? Huh? Daddy? Can I have cake?
- For the last time, stop asking me!
- Noticing the growth: taller and a bit heavier to carry
- Children's television shows
- Food. Wasted food
- Remembering that you once acted this way yourself
- Watching where the both of you are going
- The joy of hearing the word "fuck" being used experimentally, and justifying this experimentation by saying "Well they learn it eventually"
- TANTRUMS
- Sitting down together on the living room floor, a mess of blocks & cars & plush Care Bears strewn around you, discussing the complexities of each car's identity, its name, and why it is so humorous
- Having to take responsibility for someone else for a change
- More frustration than you're prepared for
- Wicked cackling
- Drawings of potato guys
- Learning about the world all over again
- Circular Logic
- Unexpected hugs and words put beautifully together out of context
- Waking up after 4 hours of sleep, and unexpectedly having to confront shit, in more than one place, including the carpet, a big toe, a butt, a bed, a toilet seat, and underpants

What fuckwads.
They do that in our alley, only with garage windows. We've had three of them broken out since we moved here.
