"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Mutant M

M is our resident mutant.

I say this in the kindest way possible. But really, let's consider the evidence:

1. M has her Daddy's funny crooked toes.
2. M has her Mommy's funny looking pinky toe-nail.
3. M has red hair (technically a mutation, although hers is obviously inherited).
4. M has the funny dermatoid above her eye from the Wood side of things.
5. M has an upside down belly button which catches all sorts of liquid, including soap... which
6. interacts with her lovely skin to result in belly button rashes.

And, last, but not least, M gets sick in the car, just like her Daddy.


Which means that I get to clean throw-up out of the car, clothes, child every day before ballet.
What joy!
What rapture!

At least I have a lack of smelling capabilities, poor E spends the second half of the ride plugging her nose.

You should try sea-bands, they're for sea-sickness. They are two wide elastic bands that go on the wrist where they use an accupressure point to stop motion sickness. They worked very well for me when i was pregnant...you could borrow mine and try it... I really don't think you should have to clean up throw-up that often!

I suppose you should see if she could get a part on an X-Men movie or something. But at least she is adorable!
