porphyryLast night, Malkhos made Madeline pick up her own toys which she'd scattered hither and yon all over the toy room. She generally loves to scatter them but doesn't so much like picking them up.
In the middle of her labors, she cried out in frustration, "Why are you treating me like Cinderella?"

I must be emitting strange pheromones in my pregnant state. Just yesterday, one of my male students told me he'd dressed up for class--he was rather dressed up--because he wanted to impress me so maybe I would go out on a date with him. No, he doesn't seem to be insane, but I haven't experienced such open flirting in a long time.
That was bad enough, but then, during my afternoon class, one of the chairs of a different department entered my classroom right near the end of class time because the chair needed to speak to a student. Instead of keeping out of my personal space and stating in low tones, "I need to see such and such after class," the woman gets right up close, reaches out, pulls my hair back so as to gain access to my left ear, and whispers her message; I could feel her breath in my ear--she was that close.
That shocked me so much that after she left, my class just sat looking at me silently as I looked at them silently. A minute or two passed.
"Well," I said. "That was rather weird, wasn't it? I do believe my lecture is concluded for the day." And I let them go.
These kinds of things are becoming quite common. Biology is rather odd. Nobody's ever found me quite so attractive before except Malkhos, but he's kind of stuck with me.
