Most of you have heard of Godwin's Law: "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.

The parent corollary: as a discussion gets longer, the probability of one parent accusing another of spending too much time online and not enough time with their kids as a result of the discussion approaches one.

Edit: This has nothing to do with me and/or koyote, but with a post I saw elsewhere (and similar discussions I've seen elsewhere). I'm not linking to it because I feel no need to draw further drama to the post in question.

I need 20 minutes or so before going to bed to put away laundry and get stuff prepared for tomorrow.

If I put Leif down, he is almost certainly going to wake up and start crying. Occasionally I really wish he was a crib baby, though not enough to do anything about it.

Perhaps I should just skip the swimming lesson. I don't think he's feeling great. He's had the poops tonight, and it would be a bad thing if that happened in the pool. And getting to swimming lesson means we have to get up much earlier than we've been getting up the past several days - we should be leaving the house at about the time we've been getting up. Plus his bathing suit hasn't come in the mail yet. We found some others at the Speedo store when I bought my suit, but they won't fit well under plastic pants, which are required.

Why don't they just require a proper swim diaper? The plastic pants seem like overkill.

But basically I'm just whining because I don't want to get up that early.

I should take the bus before the one I'd normally need, since I'm not 100% sure where I'm going or what to do once I get there.

Oh well, bed. If he wakes up and cries, I guess I'll have to just dump the laundry on the floor.
