let us have big hearts and rational words

It has been quite a dramatic year. And I do mean both interpretations of the word: exciting and full of drama (and drama).

I'm building up quite the experience in crisis intervention.

Internal Argument or Sometimes I can be very silly

K: Why are all of these glasses dirty?!?

K: Have you been washing dishes without your glasses again?

. . ...

K: I don't like wearing glasses in the morning :p

This just about sums up our relationship

Mom: You know that house that we own and rent in New Hampshire?

K: The one you were planning on selling to pay for my college and never did? The one I keep telling you to sell since housing prices are probably at their peak in the area?

Mom: Yeah, well I read in the paper that housing prices may be at their peak in the area so I think we're going to sell it.

K: Well I'm glad you finally made a decision.

Mom: Not making a decision is still making a decision.

K: ?

K: Well I think it's a very good idea to sell since you may have been spending more money on maintenance than you've actually made in renting it. Plus, it is probably a good time to invest your money in some other medium than the real estate market right now.

Mom: Yes, it is a very good idea to sell. And we're not even going to have to pay capital gains tax because we'll be buying a similar rental property with the money from the sale.

K: I need to go now...
