The End is Nigh!

Have you ever seen Signs? The movie with Mel Gibson, Joaquin Phoenix and those two kids where aliens start buggin' folks and actin' all....alien? If you didn't see it stop reading here, go watch it and then continue reading cause I may spoil it for you. If you did see it, remember how Bo, the little girl, would always want water, take a sip and then say that it was contaminated? Then, she would leave the cups and glasses of water all over the house so that Joaquin Phoenix could then smash them on aliens and cause them death. Well, we may be under attack here in Collinwood. Daughter has, for the last week, been on a "it's nasty" trip. She will watch you get fresh juice out of the fridge, drink approximately half of it and then hand it back to you and say "It's nasty." Further questioning of daughter as to the specifics of the nasty will get you answers such as: 'Cause; 'Cause, yes; 'Cause, it's nasty; and my all time favorite "I'mma ask mommy." As you can see, non sequiters are daughter's specialty. This may be a good thing, though. As I remember it, Signs was one big non sequiter fest until the end, when humans won. So, if you're having a birthday party and some alien walks all through the cake, you can call daughter. I know for a fact that she loves cake and, apparently, she hates aliens.

One Monkey Down....

The world is a tad darker now. Colors have lost their vibrancy, smells have lost their appeal. I've given up coffee. Not just for lent but for good. So, yeah, everybody can go to hell.

On The Daddy Tip #13

Just in case you were up all night wondering: Even though you are advised to contact poison control or a physician in case of ingestion,
"Maximum Strength Desitin is not harmful in small amounts. It does, however, act as a laxative."
