something funny to me yesterday…

i’ve seen The Little Mermaid about 8,479 times. i can quote dialogue, sing all the songs, blah blah blah. and yet, the following escaped me;

“mom, you know how when Ariel and Flounder are exploring the shipwreck and the shark comes after them?”
“yeah?”
“why does Flounder scream ‘RUN?!’ they don’t have legs…”

no shit. huh. ha.

So,

the child has been after me to let her get a pet. i have been opposed to this because generally i am not in favor of:

cleaning up poop
small rodents in my house
creatures without advanced limbic systems in cages
pet based aromas

all of which tend to accompany the pets she is suggesting she become the owner of. i have encouraged her to make friends with the pencils who have all manner of pets furry and reptile, swimmers and scamperers alike. she views this suggestions with skepticism.

then, apparently inspired, yesterday she said the following: mom, what i really want is something other than a pet. how about instead of a HAM-ster, i get a SIS-ter!!

because a sibling really is the ultimate pet

 

hodie sez:

if you are what you eat, it’s better to be a potato than spaghetti. because potatoes are still kinda cute but spaghetti is not. plus it’s totally not huggable but a potato pretty much is.

unassailable logic, that.
