Foster

Jessica was exhausted from looking after N. for two week-ends and 7 nights. He has had a cold and sleeps poorly at night. he is affectionate and attached to her, he calls me dad and judy gma. He responds with a NO! and often a shriek when asked to do most things, but then does them cheerfully. We appreciate that he says thank you when given things. He won't watch television. It seems he is accustomed to watching movie on a phone.He is eager to go to water and enjoys throwing rocks into the bay.

odd thought 1

If I believed in God, I might be convinced that he/she created prostatic hypertrophy to get men to appreciate that they are still peeing. Certainly as I stand and wait for my urine to flow and occasionally clean up my dribbles I do think of God wonder why he has done this to me, and indeed all men who live long enough to be grateful for another day of peeing.
