The Devil in Pink Pajamas: November 2010
http://devilinpinkpjs.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 21, 2010. After having been threatened with the ire of the (not so) Jolly Old Elf, The Devil wanders downstairs, after - apparently - having given this matter of Santa and his magical abilities some serious consideration, and says casually, over her shoulder, at me:. THE DEVIL: "You know, Santa is REALLY magic.". THE DEVIL: "Yes, he can turn into a submarine.". ME:" how. cool? But why would he do that? THE DEVIL: "Because he LIKES to! THE DEVIL: "Legos don't have submarines.". I confess ...

The Devil in Pink Pajamas: January 2009
http://devilinpinkpjs.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2009. So Number One Son has a new food fascination: Pepperidge Farm goldfish. Specifically, the pizza flavored version, which is covered in a brilliant dark orange, spice-flecked dust that makes the formerly neat (and much beloved, as a result) snack taste the way our local Mexican take-out joint smells, and leaves delightfully Renaissance-inspired Titian powder all over everything the moment you open the bag. Cut to the next morning. Except -wait, what? Solemn headshake: No. Pl...

The Devil in Pink Pajamas: May 2010
http://devilinpinkpjs.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 13, 2010. Things We Have Done in the Past Week or So. Hmmm, lemme think. We puked. In mom's bed. On Dad's pillow. WHILE HE WAS USING IT. We ran a fever. We hung out all day in Number One's bed with him while HE had a fever, watching Spongebob and taking breaks for chicken soup and ice pops, and no one had a poke fight or called for Mommy ONCE, alarming Mommy greatly. We coughed so much we puked some more.a lot. We ran another fever, and another, and another. DOC, THANK YOU! We got yet anoth...

The Devil in Pink Pajamas: Short Shrift
http://devilinpinkpjs.blogspot.com/2010/09/short-shrift.html
Wednesday, September 22, 2010. See what happens when you don't have a disability (other than an insatiable urge to dominate humankind)? Your mom neglects your blog. So, by way of my renewed intention to blog here regularly, I offer the following, which seems appropriate, somehow. OVERHEARD FROM THE DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM:. WHY won't you POOP? Assume this question was being posed to one or both of them. One would be utterly wrong, but still. one could. I would add a comment, but, really, after that?

The Devil in Pink Pajamas: Reassurance
http://devilinpinkpjs.blogspot.com/2010/05/reassurance.html
Monday, May 3, 2010. So here it is. Visit-with-the-Oncologist-for-no-reason-other-than-to-set-your-mind-at-ease day. Know what we're doing (besides swilling caffeine to combat the abject lack of sleep this whole episode has caused)? And the reschedule isn't for another 2 weeks. (Sleep? I Laugh in the face of rest and downtime! BUT - we should fax. whatever it is. to Rita at the following number. Now, I confess that perhaps even a crack team of medical coders and receptionists appearing in lab coats on my...

The Devil in Pink Pajamas: April 2010
http://devilinpinkpjs.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. You Keep Using That Word. So the Devil has a glandular problem. (Yes, yes, I know this sounds like the lead-in to a terrible joke, but if it IS a joke, it is indeed terrible. Read on.). Repeat this scenario time and time again. And since no one was particularly worried, and her health was otherwise fine, we were reassured. As in, cancer. As in, HOLY SHIT ARE YOU CRAZY? DON'T USE THAT WORD WITH ME I'LL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN HOLY SHIT AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGHHH! Links to this post. Now w...

The Devil in Pink Pajamas: December 2008
http://devilinpinkpjs.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 18, 2008. Sometimes, the devil is kind. However, the devil hates for people to know this. So, as you might imagine (were you prone to imagining things about wicker baskets, which I frankly hope you are not), this basket is quite heavy when full. It has built-in handles on the short sides, and is more cumbersome to lug about than, say, a laundry basket loaded with soiled sleepers and fouled footies. And about twice the height. And peer into it with an expression of deepest puzzlement, a...
