Please, if you would, imagine the rest of this post in a sportscaster voice. 




Yesterday&#8217;s playground snub was so complicated it needs one of those football play diagrams.
I ran into a mom today, someone I&#8217;d met only once at a market months ago. (We&#8217;ll call her &#8220;Mom A&#8221; &#8212; start at the upper left of [...]]]></description>
