and buys your exact brand of ridiculously expensive eco-friendly, hypo-allergenic, biodegradable laundry detergent

Did you ever have that day where someone reads on your blog that you are out of laundry detergent and then that person goes out and buys your exact brand of ridiculously expensive eco-friendly, hypo-allergenic, biodegradable laundry detergent (which probably went against his very nature) and leaves it in front of your garage door on the day that you come home from the hospital with your Adolescent Boy (who is recovering nicely, where nicely means grumpily)?

Yeah?  But did you get a purple bow on yours?  Because I did.  Just saying...

If I lived near you, I would have done EXACTLY that thing. You are loved [by a generous, smart, Earth-friendly, thoughtful individual. Or two]

:D

Yay for the both of you!

Brought a tear to my cynical eye...

Wow...and just when I was about to give up on humanity...a glimmer of hope in the world...

Ask for money.. And send me some. Just keep the first grader out of juvie. Love all you delinquents.

If I lived near you, I would have brought you alcohol and more alcohol after your trip to the hospital.

The detergent I would never have thought of.

That's a good man.

Okay...so that was incredibly sweet. I wonder which "bitch" or "bitches" it was!!
How nice to know that there are people out there watching your back! And the purple bow? awesome!

What? The shampoo was working just fine, was it not?

The bow was a nice touch. I like that person.

P.S. I will be seeking full custody of the first grader if you ever leave me. And The Rat? She gets The Girl.

The first grader spontaneously hugged me twice. Oh yes he did. He's all snuggled up in my heart right now.

HIS nature?

That is a truly awesome gift. The only thing that could make it better would be if the gift giver stuck around and did the wash.

But did you experience the first grader's kiss-wherever-the-lips-land kiss?

Wow. SO thoughtful. What you inspired!

How kind. Hope all is saner and improving in Katydidnotland.

Someone really loves you - the purple bow proves it. :-)

Very thoughtful - I am so glad you have someone looking out for you.

I'm with Jen on the Edge, I would have shown up with alcohol. And probably chocolate and baked goods. Since we're in the middle of a blizzard can I bring them even though I live far away?

Because you need clean underwear when you go out on that date with Mr. Finite Scoping of the trees.
