Mamacita says: Why stay in the box, all cramped and restricted and crowded with boring people, when it’s so much more fun to live OUTSIDE of the box? Nobody who chose to live inside the box has ever changed the universe in any noticeable way. Sing. Dance. Write poems and stories and plays and songs. [...]

Mamacita says: Behavior. It’s on my mind. Watching a mother allow her child to play roughly with an unpaid-for toy throughout the store, then discarding it at the checkout without paying for the damage, disgusted me, and I mentioned it on Twitter and was immediately challenged by a mother who saw nothing wrong with such [...]

Mamacita says: Parents have a right to be kept informed about their child’s progress in school, and we all know that the students themselves are NOT good message-deliverers. Phone calls can be awkward and time-consuming; email is excellent for those families with computers and internet access; hand-carried letters probably won’t get home, and apparently it’s [...]

Mamacita says: Spring Break is over for me and just beginning for other people, so naturally I’m, to quote Jimmy Fallon, BOTHERED. Oh, not really. I love my job. All of them, in fact. In honor of my love for my jobs, I shall dedicate this post to things that BOTHERED me at my former [...]

Mamacita says: May you be buried in a casket made from the wood of a 100 year old oak That I shall plant tomorrow. Oh, tis a wondrous thing to be Irish, although the same could not be said earlier in our country’s history. Many people do not know how unwelcome the Irish were here, [...]

Mamacita says: Children are naturally curious. With each passing day, an infant is more and more curious about what’s going on in the world around him/her. When is this happening? When is that happening? And, later, WHY is this happening, or not? Add to this everything in between, and it’s little wonder that it’s so [...]

Mamacita says: At the risk of exposing my Harry Potter obsession to the world – and it’s no doubt far too late to worry about that – I have been looking at the series with my teacher-eyes lately and have noticed some pretty awesome things. At age eleven, children were expected to know the basic [...]
