Slavery

By

Scene: lively banter at the dinner table as we all encourage Zac to say ‘more’ in sign language

Milo: “He did it! He said ‘more’!”

( Everyone cheers… )

Milo: “Mom how do you say ‘done’ in sign language?”

( Rachel does a gesture with her hands )

Milo: “Mom, how do you say ‘slavery’ in sign language?”

( Parents crack up )

Sledding to Shredding

One 5-year old’s journey from sledder to shredder…in just 5 days. Concluding of course with the requisite head first crash into the house.

To eat or not to eat

By

zac + laptop

zac + laptop == dilemma

Status Report:
Zac: sleeping soundly
Morgan: ravenous, but has tons of work to do

Option 1 – stay put and work
PRO: In this current body position I can probably squeeze in an hour of work AND have the use of both of my hands (which way more than doubles my one-handed productivity while writing code – I’d say 2-handed typing is about 5.7 times as effective as 1-handed typing).

CON: I may pass out due to low blood sugar at any moment

Option 2 – risk it and get something to eat
PRO: I’ll probably be more productive and remain conscious with a higher blood sugar level

CON: This will almost certainly wake Zac up and I’ll have to revert to one-handed computer programming

I’m looking for creative solutions here. What would you do?

Horse Thieves

By

Reading By the Shores of Silver Lake with Milo last night and we came to a chapter called “Horse Thieves”. We started talking about what kind of people might become horse thieves and what they might look like. I asked Milo if he thought he’d know a horse thief when he saw one and he said he would. When I asked him how he’d know, he thought about it for a second and replied, “it would be written on the back of their shirts”.

That was worth a good chuckle. If only life could be so nicely organized that we all wore uniforms saying what we were…

What’s a vegetarian to do?

By

Rachel has been pounding down protein (in the sausage format) like she’s carbo-loading for an upcoming marathon.

Milo (the fair weather carnivore) is quite happy to go along for the ride.

So what’s a vegetarian to do?

Sit back, hope for a like-minded 2nd child, and mix another Dark ‘n Stormy.
