John Shinto died tragically during a Donkey Show in Tijuana recently. We mourn his loss.
It is said, however, that Mexican children tell a different tale. A tale of man who faked his death and stole away in the middle of the night to begin a new life. This mysterious drifter moves from town to town, never staying long enough to settle down and make friends, but always staying long enough to help those he leaves behind. This strange wanderer is known only as.....

Posting at work has its downsides on occasion
I can only use one hand to fap to your avatar?
I want it to be legitimate. I want people to have to post in it. I don't want it to be locked within 5 minutes of creation.
It will be so glorious.
I hate when I start writing up a long, thought-out response, and then my timer goes off and I have to go do something and can't come back to the computer until I have another incubation, and by that time it'd be necro-posting and it's just not worth it.
I was talkin bout the hating part
Friday evening, the 12-year-old was supposed to be cleaning up the back porch. The munchkin (age 3) was bouncing between inside, where I was doing something on my computer, and outside with her. The munchkin knows she's not supposed to be outside without some sort of footwear, at least flip-flops, since I don't trust our back yard to not have something at minimum unpleasant to step on, and she's pretty good about complying.
3yo : Where my flip-flops?
12yo : I hid them
3yo (complacently) : ok.
a bit later...
12yo : Argh! Where's my MP3 player?
3yo : Where my flip-flops?
I about fell out of my chair laughing.
That being Metal Gear.
Metal Gear??!!
Heh.
My two-year-old has taken to saying some odd phrases.
1) When he doesn't get something he wants and starts to fuss, we tell him to calm down and he says: "But what about meeeee?" as if his needs aren't being met.
2) This might be too much Thomas, but when my wife tells him that she is angry with him, he says--exactly--"Sorry mommy, please don't be cross with me."
We are, I should point out, not the least bit British. The closest thing to England in our house is two jars of Marmite.

And if there's one thing that game series has taught me it's that nothing is a coincidence.
They went upstairs and into the back room. The 2yo managed to open a tin of varnish, spread it all over the carpet and then then sit down in it. When he couldn't get back up, the 4yo decided to go get water to try and clean it up. He went into the bathroom, and pulled down the showerhead, breaking it and making water snake all over the place. My aunts were in the kitchen, when they noticed water coming through the ceiling. The ran upstairs to see what was going on, and she was shocked.
The boy's mum took them downstairs, took their ruined clothes off and locked them in the front room while my aunts were talking about the damage. The 2yo fell asleep on the couch and the 4yo found a box of crisps. The then decided to use the crisp packets to make a blanket for his baby brother so he wouldn't be cold, so he opened all the packages of crisps, emptying them individually on the floor and covered his brother in the empty packets. My aunts were not happy when they came back in.
As far as I can tell, it was in the region of 30k worth of damage in 15 minutes.
heh, the oddest thing mine's come up with is "I'm ok" to mean she's scared or otherwise wanting to be comforted. We figure it must come from when she runs to us for comfort we pick her up and give her a big hug and say "see, you're ok"
Lately, she's taken to singing the alphabet and then telling me which letters she missed... at least she knows where her problems are, I guess.
If you want a good free game then go download Masq. It's feckin' awesome.

Our son learned the alphabet and numbers very early, but that means that as he gets old enough to actually understand that he's singing a song or reciting, he starts getting lazy and dropping letters out. For example, L and M are sadly absent from his alphabet even though he recognizes them all, large and small. He also likes to go from 14 to 19. A lot.

Gob: And now she's stomping on my heart.
Michael: What's her first name? Quickly.
Gob: Uhh... Crindy.
Michael: Name's not Crindy, Gob.
This borders on idolatry...

For a while she was consistently skipping K and S, with the standard L-M-N-O jumbled together as a single unit. Then she started getting K, then got S but went back to skipping K, now she just tells me "missed K" or this afternoon "missed K and U". Oh, and at the end, instead of "Y and Z" it's "Z-Y-Y"
We only recently (the past few months) started working on lower-case letters, but she's getting them pretty quickly.
She's got 1-11 down, but things get jumbled a bit after that. I figure as long as we keep working on it, she'll get them soon enough.
(oh, and as I'm typing this, she points to the :winky: and says "that's daddy"
