27th of July 2011

I am so steadily engrossed in my biological anthropology class that I just had to...I had to be an imp.  I have a wonderful professor teaching this class.  He has to be wonderful to put up with my garbage and all the crazy questions I send him in e-mails. I find that he is super intellectual and has a great sense of humor.  Now mind you, I have never met this man, but I find myself fond of him (not in a crazed woman staulker situation) but as an instructor who has been kind and understanding to the needs of his students.

So this is the last week of this class and I am finishing up some of my paperwork and an important question was posed. I just had to write this down for all those grueling test I studied for and just because of the "imp" in me.  This is what I turned it.


  1. What are the stages of human life history and how is it different from other species? 
Well in Julia’s explanation ---all mammals have these little adults with a more developed brains.  Not so for humans.  We have this little wrinkly, sour faced infants – that cry all the time, eat, sleep and poop.  They are 100% helpless then they become these big humans that whine all the time, eat, sleep, and poop. You have to make these loud yelling noises to get them to respond to your voice when they have the man-made apparatuses in their ears.  Between the time they are helpless and they time they are more helpless, they get into your stored food supply and make these grunting noises.  Then they have these fierce competitions as to who gets what in the assembled nature of manufactured goods.  I don’t think other mammals do this. This is why there is an unexplained period after menopause in human females. They need this time to compress all the stress between the baby male spouse (if you have one) and the baby offspring and to adjust to all those nasty – horrid moans that are floating around in the female body.  Then they finally realized that they forgot to take out the years of nuclear waste that the offspring left them with when they moved out into the civilized jungle to pretend on being independent.  
To Dr. Leone,

You will never in your entire life meet another crazy student like me. I have enjoyed your class tremendously!  Thank you so much. (Now that being said -- I have a "A" in lecture will you give me a better grade in Lab..probably not. (I have a "C" in lab.)  He is not that type of professor!)

They are cute. I am glad they aren't mine.

Important Question?

Can a mother be a man? Yes --- in a New York minute! He can change a diaper and wipe a nose. Can a mother be a father? Yes -- a woman can put a worm on a hook just as fast as a man.

Important Questions ?

Does giving birth make you a mother? Does having a child in a relationship make you a father? On both accounts no. Just because you have a biological connection to a child makes you not a mother or a father. A real father or mother is painful, tearful, dramatic, tempered, hurt, love, hate, like, giving of one's needs totally to the point of distraction and so on. The biggest thing you can give you child doesn't come in the form of a gift. The biggest thing you can give your child is "YOUR TIME."

This blog started as a class project, but I couldn't put it down. There is just too much information that we need as women and as parents! We shouldn't be afraid to talk about any of it!
