Little E vs. sleep and parental authority

ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz...Little guy really didn’t like my suggestions that his little tired butt needed to go to bed tonight after a long cranky day of refusing to take a nap. He was also kinda difficult to have any kind of a conversation with:

LITTLE E: I don’t want to do what you say. I just want to watch cartoons.
ME: Well, I’d like to win the lottery without the morally reprehensible and mathematically inadvisable step of buying a ticket, but we don’t always get what we want.

[pause]

LITTLE E: Can I watch cartoons?… Read more

Little E vs. the theory of evolution

LITTLE E: Dad! This [stuffed] puppy turned into a tiger! RAAARRRRR!
ME: Puppies don’t turn into tigers.
LITTLE E: This puppy turned into a tiger. [pause] RRAAAAAAARRRR!!
ME: Puppies turn into big dogs like Xena.
LITTLE E: THIS. PUPPY. TURNED. INTO. A TIGER!!!!
ME: Okay, if the puppy started out as Catherine Schell, then it can be a puppy that turns into a tiger.
LITTLE E: RAAAARRRRRR!!

I can see we’re not quite ready to tackle stuff like genetic drift and mutation just yet.… Read more

You keep using that word

Pizza the Hut!Conversation with the little guy on the way home today:

LITTLE E: I want to go home and eat pizza.
ME: I think Mom’s already got dinner planned.
LITTLE E: But I don’t like dinner. I don’t like it!
ME: Dinner isn’t pizza or green beans. Dinner is what time you eat at night. You like dinner just fine.
LITTLE E: I don’t like dinner.
ME: Do you like to eat food?
LITTLE E: Yes.
ME: Then trust me, you like dinner. At dinnertime, you get to eat food.
[pause]
LITTLE E: I don’t like to eat food.
ME: Great – that’ll save us a lot out of our budget. Thanks, buddy!

Me and Little E, solving the world’s problems together since 2007. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.… Read more

Brain scan

A couple of my Facebook friends recently posted some personality and intelligence test results courtesy of an app there. I’ve taken those same tests before, but it’s been a while; I went directly to the site for the tests rather than do the Facebook app (even before the recent revelations, I just don’t do Facebook apps) under a silly pseudonym. But what the heck, I’ll post the results here, even if I don’t want them to have my info. … Read more
