back to the regularly scheduled programming of batfamily thoughts! anyway I got into a discussion with my mom about the incredibly specific ways small children act today so here's how I think the batfamily would have been as tiny tots:
dick was one of those kids that if you took his eyes off him, he would vanish. you'd find him in a few minutes and he'd be like. climbing onto on a table. or swinging from a curtain or rope he was clinging to. or rummaging through something you were pretty sure he couldn't open a minute ago. just generally causing chaos and being in places or playing with things he shouldn't. sweet kid, but being on baby grayson babysitting duty was like watching houdini on a sugar high.
jason wanted to do everything his mom did. even if it was taxes or cleaning the toilet. if she was doing it, he wanted to do it. always trying to be helpful, even though he usually just ended up getting in the way. he probably had an extremely small broom and dustpan or something like that.
tim asked so. many. questions. he would point to words and ask "what does this say?" he had a "why" phase but it was all questions that his parents had no idea how to answer. "why are there tides?" because of the moon" "how did the moon get there?" et cetera.
damian was a small creature kid. if it moved he would just stare at it. he was always collecting breadcrumbs to feed the birds and letting bugs crawl on his hands. he found them fascinating. (he has not lost this fascination and probably never will.)
cass was a duckling. especially with the minimal amount of human interaction she got, if someone was in her space she'd follow them everywhere. she was never in the way, never obtrusive, just a little shadow to whoever was around her.
stephanie had a sweet tooth and her parents bribed her with treats a LOT. she was pretty well-behaved until she learned that misbehaving just a little would get her candy. gamed the system from an early age. if there was a treat on the table she would eat it. do not leave cupcakes unsupervised around baby steph.
barbara took apart everything. which was cute when she took apart her dolls and put them back together. it was less cute when she figured out how to use a screwdriver and disassembled the remote. she put it back together eventually.
duke was the kind of kid who didn't talk in front of strangers basically ever. he'd smile politely but he just. would not say a word and escape as soon as he could. not shy -- he'd happily play in the corner when other people were around -- but completely silent around anyone unfamiliar.
kate was one of those girls who had a hat or a tutu or a pair of shoes that she absolutely had to wear everywhere she went or she would have an absolute meltdown. more specifically, it was socks with big sparkly ladybugs on them, and she would pitch a fit every time she wasn't allowed to wear them because they had to be washed.
bruce repeated things. everything. doesn't matter where he heard it -- from his parents, family members, on the street, wherever. he was a little parrot. as you can imagine, this posed some problems.

Me: Do you guys know what a book dedication is?
Grade 1s: Nooo!
Me: It's kind of like the author is saying "This is who I wrote this book for, who I was thinking about when I wrote this." The dedication for the book that we're about to read says "For kids everywhere playing in boxes".
Grade 1: *gasps* I play in a box every day during after-school daycare!
Me: Yeah, I think I've seen you doing that too!
Other Grade 1: Wait, so they really wrote the book for us?! For real?!
Me: For real.
Grade 1s: :O
[The book I was about to read was Not a Box by Antoinette Portis]

I can say "they're just boobs" all I want and still be mortified when smalls grabs the neckline of my shirt and exposes them.
I'm a mother; we contain multitudes.

I randomly had the idea, since Pokemon usually has evil teams. What if the evil team leader had a kid that they actually care about? Like I made one but I have no ideas for her. Her names Sadie, She's 8 and I gave her overwhelming fear of the dark and mysterious figures! Idk what Pokemon to give her though. Be free to add your own ideas.

Okay, homies, have I got a story for you! 😂😂😂
So, li'l while back, I ordered myself some new loungewear to get me through some tough times, including some pajama pants with the print pictured here.
My four-year-old, who has been informed, and has finally accepted, that he is a Baby Goku, but doesn't yet understand what "chibi" is, saw my pajamas and went, "THAT'S BABY GOKU! I'M BABY GOKU!" and I was like, "Correct, young man." He then made some inquiries about the two other fellows, having not seen Dragon Ball Z, on account of he's four years old, and I do not want him imitating that behavior, because he ain't got but maybe half a lick of sense on a good day, and 0% accurate estimation of danger.
With no knowledge of the source material--and I really wanna emphasize this--he went on to inform me of the following:
THAT'S BABY VEGETA. VEGETA IS VERY FIERCE!!!
BABY PICCOLO IS SERIOUS.
VEGETA GETS MAD. HE YELLS A LOT.
I then tried to explain Vegeta's character arc to my four-year-old in an age-appropriate way. Which kinda went like, "Uh...yeah...well...uh. When he first shows up and meets everybody, Vegeta's...a bully. And he wants to fight. But...he...learns...better? And they solve some problems together, and after a while, he's their friend???" Which resulted in:
THAT'S BABY GOKU. HE'S MY FRIEND. HES MY BEST FRIEND!
PURPLE PICKLES IS GOOD. AND GREEN...GREEN PICKLES ARE VERY GOOD FOR YOU!
And I was like, "Ya darn right, homie. That's what's up." 😂😂😂
Because HE'S NOT WRONG!!! THAT'S AN EXTREMELY 💯 TAKE!!! And I'm adopting "Purple Pickles" as my headcanon for Piccolo's online handle for his troll accounts that he uses to troll Vegeta, who is an absolute Boomer On The Internet, on the internet.
I freakin' love kids, man.

Yesterday my grandmother said she'd just learned that the lights of fireworks and the BOOM of fireworks do not go together. You can have the lights without the bang boom loud.
1. Was this common knowledge and everyone else knew this except me and my grandmother and Indi
2. Why do they not have more fireworks that have the lights without the bang

My favorite way to get people who are taller than annoyed/irritated is referring to them as small child.
This sets it up to where they walk up real close and are like either raising an eyebrow or saying are you sure about that.
These reactions make my day and my life. That and this is how they sort of walk up to you.

“Nothing prepares you to be a parent”
Blah blah blah
I thought this meant nothing prepares you for the struggle of keeping a small human with no sense of self preservation alive.
I did not realize this meant your child may decide a bottle of orange Gatorade is their comfort item and now you have a bottle of orange Gatorade to keep track of and say things like
“Have you seen the Gatorade bottle? She won’t stop screaming if she doesn’t have it.”

Adventures in Librarian-ing
So there's this mom at my school who helps the school find parent volunteers for stuff the school needs help with like extra supervisors during field trips, people to man the breakfast program, decorating the school on a monthly basis, and helping to hand out the kids' orders for fun lunch on Thursdays. Her youngest kiddo (still not school-aged) often tags along so she doesn't have to pay for childcare.
Well, yesterday when they were setting up fun lunch for the Grade 3s to 5s (the setup is right in front of the library) I overheard the kid say he was hungry and his mom asked him if he'd like to have one of the extra lunches (there's always extras in case anyone drops their meal or something) since it was his birthday.
I immediately perked up like a meerkat on alert and stuck my head out the door.
"Did I hear you say that it's his birthday?" I asked.
"Yup! He's officially five now, so next year he gets to go to Kindergarten!"
"I gasped dramatically and then quietly asked her if I could give him some stickers for his birthday. She grinned and told me that that was fine, so I walked over to where the kiddo was playing with his Pokémon cards.
"Hey dude, I heard it's your birthday!"
He looked up, grinning, and showed me with his fingers how old he was while saying "I'm five now!"
"That's super cool, turning five is a big deal! Would you like some stickers for your birthday?"
"Yeah!" he said, immediately gathering up his cards.
I let him pick between a sheet of Buzz Lightyear stickers and a sheet of Hot Wheels stickers (they'd both come with new library books). He picked Buzz and then we chatted while we waited for his mom to finish setting things up. :)
