The 6-Year-Old Mind
Me: Buddy, could you run upstairs and tell me if your baby brother is still asleep?
The 6-Year-Old: OK.
(Runs upstairs)
(Pause)
The 6-Year-Old: (from upstairs, screams) DAD! THE BABY IS STILL ASLEEP!
Baby: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Me: (whacks forehead)

Thank you, Thers. Reason #250339 why I don't want kids. It's always nice to get these charming little reminders! *grin*
I am glad your duck is doing ok and you're not washing away in the flood. Can you send some rain here? We really, really need some. The river isn't quite as low as it was earlier this year, when I could have walked across it without rolling up my pants, but it's still pretty droughtified around here.

Meanwhile, earlier tonight in a conversation with my almost 6 year old (from atrios'):
I talk too much.
I was reading the local paper, which has an article about Helen Thomas because she was just speaking at the lcoal university. My daughter came in and asked who she is. I said she's been a reporter through 9 presidents, longer than I've been alive. Stella says, "But you're not 9 years old." So, I explain term limits, then find myself dealing with assassinations, corporate controlled media and stolen elections. And damn the bushes, I gotta talk about father & son presidencies, too.

And when she wanted to talk more about why Kennedy was assassinated, as I paused to find the words, she says, "The mean people didn't like how he was runnin' things?"
