Words of wisdom

I hit a milestone on a big project -- well, I mean, I'm finished, but I'm not quite finished because now there's another phase to begin, plus a completely separate part that involves things I've never done before, and --

yes. Well, I've been going on and on like this at home and never being able to say I was finished, and today the kidlet (7) said, "Well, did you fill in all the boxes?"

"Yes," I said, "I filled in all the boxes."

And in a tone that suggested that all discussion was now over, the kidlet said, "OK, then. Good job."

Er ... well, sometimes. And then there are the times when she's lunging about, growling and snorting, and when asked for an explanation she says (in a tone that suggests that this should be obvious) "Because I'm a deadly pig-jaguar!"

way to cut to the chase, kidlet. I think that sometimes adults have trouble slowing down and celebrating the milestones. So pats on the back, you filled in the boxes!
