Saw Matilda last night with the boys, and at one point Owen leaned over me and asked "Is it good being a grownup?"
I said yeah.

While playing campout.HL: Are you afraid of the dark?A: No. I HUNT night reindeer in the dark.HL: Oh yeah? How do you hunt night reindeer? With a gun or a bow-and-arrow?A: With a bone arrow. You take em back to the camp, throw em on the fire, mush em up into a blanklet, then you chop the head off so you don't have a head on your blanklet.― how's life, Saturday, December 13, 2014 5:08 PM (7 months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

A (holding up a plastic Halloween Grim Reaper scythe): I'm going to go deer hunting. HL: Uh, I've heard of people going deer hunting with shotguns, or rifles, or bows and arrows, but with a scythe? What are you going to do - chop their heads off?A: I'm going to chop a big hole in their backs and that's how you go deer hunting with a scythe.

A: I make some of the bodies into mats and some of them into blanklets and I put the deer's heads ON THE WALL.

The background being that her latest imagination game to play has been "wolves". You know, there's a pack, she has to learn to hunt, there are alphas and omegas (she likes omegas better because it sounds better), there's a lot of howling and running. But I didn't realize she was still in wolf mode at the time and I certainly didn't know she had gotten married.

I think she's remembering the bit in Paulos' Innumeracy when he says the probability of having just inhaled a molecule that Caesar exhaled in his dying breath, is over 99%, which we talked about some months ago, and kicking it up a notch. but it really came out of nowhere today...

We're finally getting our decrepit and nonfunctioning bathroom repaired, but it is next to Ella's room and she has to sleep out in the lounge for a couple of weeks. She was disgusted to learn this."The builders CAN'T come and pull up the floor. If they do, I'll BASH them!"
And
"rRAAAAARRRRGH! RRRRRRAAAAARGH!""What are you doing?""I'm frightening the builders away."

some kid at the toy store last weekend was playing with a bunch of Thomas the Train toys and trying to tell me (at great length) about how coal-fired steam trains are better than diesel trains, cuz the diesel trains are mean. was preparing to blow his mind about how coal is possibly the worst most evil energy source in the world and diesel is much better fuiud but was distracted by Veronica asking me to explain a Calvin and Hobbes strip.
fucking Thomas, Thomas is a goddamn idiot is what he is
