Biggest Geek EVER
Mimi Smartypants wins:
What are Nora's favorite toys? Anything that is not a toy. The remote, the phone, the cat, the camera, pots and pans, tubes of hand lotion, my checkbook. She is also very fond of taking books off the shelves and crawling around with them. Yesterday she had a paperback copy of Existentialism and Human Emotions clutched in her grubby little fist, and she shrieked bloody murder when I tried to get her to release the Sartre.* In fact she would not relinquish it for any reason whatsoever, so it went in the crib with her for a nap. My baby's existence so totally precedes her essence.
*Oh man it would be so funny** if Clash of the Titans was reworked to be all about philosophers/phenomenologists. "Husserl! Release the Sartre!"
**Except that it wouldn't.
for some reason, i am unable to comment on the dogs post, but i am able to comment here. hmm.
anyhow. if i didn't have dogs, the words "no, sweetie, it's *my* job to eat the intruders" would never have passed my lips.
I must have accidentally closed the comments there earlier than I meant to - trying not to leave so many back doors for spammers.
i will tell the dogs that it's okay to eat spammers.
