Then

“I want that!” he yells. And before Mark can respond, “Where’d the zombies go?” Followed by some more crying.

I can tell that having a son that is probably going to be a gamer just like his dad is going to result in a lot of humorous statements. He plays Plants vs. Zombies, and when he asks to play he says “I want to feed the zombies.”

Of course, that is my fault, as I noticed that since he’s only a toddler and doesn’t understand the point of PvZ he tends to let the zombies through fairly frequently. Thus I said that he was clearly feeding them. He was concerned that the poor zombies were going hungry, so he feeds them his own brain. That’s the generous soul he is.

Of course, now he’s back to playing Tozzle. Tozzle is an extremely loud game that he plays at full blast volume almost every day. He plays only three of the puzzles in it: the windmill (which he calls the “mim mill”), the train, and the planes. When he builds the “red one” (the plane with red markings) he then finishes and tells us that we are going to the airport. “We take a plane to Bibi’s house!” he announces over and over.

But then, come January, I stopped talking about it. Why? Well, it got stuck in a tree.

This doesn't look too high, right? Click to see the full size of the tree

Look for the red line towards the bottom of the image to find our fence-line.

When it finally fell down from the tree, one of the rotors didn’t turn correctly, so now we are waiting for a repair kit and replacement rotors and shell (which disappeared).

“Rudolph the red nose reindeer had a very
shiny though and if you have Verizon hand and you even say it
glows.”

If you have Verizon hand?

A shiny though?

Surprisingly, it usually does a pretty good job. But this was particularly
funny.

“I read your top 10 list of best web editors, and it was interesting. I use ___ editor, and I was wondering if there was a better one than it available.”

Really?

The editor he mentioned was not on the list.

I honestly don’t know what to tell him. I mean, seriously, if his editor was not on the list (and it does qualify to be on that list – it’s free and it’s for Windows), then chances are, I believe that all ten editors on that list are better than the one he named.

The only thing I can think is that he doesn’t understand what a “Top 10” list is.

The caller ID says it’s “Telemarketer.”

Should I answer?

What do you think?

Oooops, I accidentally decided to write this blog post before I answered. And now the phone says 1 missed call.

Too bad.

He watched an episode of Mythbusters where they tried to pop popcorn with a bomb and with a laser. And all Jaryth wanted to see was the house get “broke all to bits”. And the “big fire!” When they switched to the car driving really fast (Jamie testing if driving fast in rain with the top down will keep you drier), Jaryth wasn’t interested.

Then he started yelling “Rocket J. Squirrel! Rocket J. Squirrel!”

I guess the ultimate episode would be where they blew something up while Rocky flew overhead.

Mark replies “Which one? Nemo or Cars?”

“Emo! Cars! Emo! Cars!”

“You can only watch one at a time.”

“Emo! Cars! Emo! He’s gonna swim with Dory!”

In this instance “he” is Jaryth referring to himself. I guess he not only wants to watch “Emo” he wants to go swimming with Dory.

Buttery Sticks - Margarine is for losers!

Yummy!

It’s sad when marketing has decided that “margarine” isn’t yummy sounding enough.

Psst: Nucoa people… Buttery sticks makes it sound like I’m about to use twigs that have been basted. And, personally, I’m not a huge fan of twigs.
