AT RISE: Two strangers in the night somehow find each other under the covers for a moment of pre-dawn, marital cuddling in the dark. The endorphins start to flow, they each exhale. Somebody farts, and no words are said, but there is a sudden “Bump… flutter-flap” from the floor. It is the unmistakable sound of an errant cat who *just* decided to jump down from the bed and fan the air with their ears real quick.
BOTH: Laugh.
[Still no words are said.]
And… SCENE.

Today is the day the incomparable 16 year-old Greta Thunberg delivered her eviscerating speech to the United Nations in New York, and it was ASTOUNDING.
And LOOK who else represents in this Boston Channel 7 News at 11 o’clock, at about minute 1:50 !?!
Angry Greta Thunberg Tells Global Leaders She Will Never Forgive Them for Failing on Climate Change [2:16]:
Upset that it’s necessary but proud to fight against THE #1 EXISTENTIAL THREAT of our lifetimes, and possibly our entire human history.
I’d rather die fighting than condoning continued inaction with my own inaction.

(See Missing the Bus… and Other Parenting Negotiations).
Boy trying to read AND write at the same time.
To Wit:
Mom is driving Boy to school after missing the bus a second time. She is having Boy write down things to help create a Morning Routine for himself.
BOY: [Reads from list.] Bathroom, dress, teeth, backpack, jacket. [Picks up book.]
MOM: OK Great. Um, you want shoes with that?
BOY: Oh yeah. [Puts down book. Writes “shoes.” Picks up book.]
MOM: How about your watch? Breakfast? Book? Anything else?”
BOY: [Sighs audibly. Puts down books. Writes notes. Picks up book again.]
MOM: OK, how about a target time for leaving?
BOY: [Frustrated sigh. Repeats above. ]
MOM: Anything else?
BOY: [Puts down book exasperated.] FINE! [Writes frenetically.] Create. World. Peace. Impeach. Trump. Solve. EVERYTHING! Are you happy now!?!
MOM: [Pauses.] Yes. [Represses laugh.] Yes I am.

The best moments are STILL off camera.
There is no way to depict the FEEL of the weight and breath and life and physical LOVE of a child who is not just ON you, but quite literally OF you.
They’re not heavy, they’re my children.
