The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

Yeah, check in if you can... not like you've got anything else to do ;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Nana may be more able to get meds in him than you think ;~D

[Oberon]

Dogs don't purr.
Cats don't fetch a ball.
Tribbles don't dismember interlopers.
Need plenty of pets to cover all the bases.

Yes, but properly trained children will do all of the above, plus pick out your nursing home.

On the other hand, pets won't stay out 'til 2 a.m. on a schoolnight and wreck your car.

[JenB]

Neither will most properly-raised children.

Shudder. I don't like to think what would have happened if I'd ever come home past, oh, nine o'clock if I hadn't cleared it beforehand.

[TalonDJ]

come home past, oh, nine o'clock

To me that does not compute... where would I have been that late?

[JenB]

At a friend's watching verbotenAnime ;-)

[TalonDJ]

Although I might have been watching to at a friends house (which we did not do at home). Probably something scandalous like 'Saved by the Bell'.
Now maybe, but not back pre '95.

[TalonDJ]

Oops.. wrote the third sentance before the first two... It makes more sense in that order.

[JenB]

We watched "Star Trek" at home. Occasionally with a rare Roadrunner or "Pinky and the Brain" cartoon.

Of course, the bothers seem to have the tv on all the time, but hey, whatever works for Mom these days. I just wish they'd have more sense than to like most of the cartoon shows they watch.

[Oberon]

My two sons are Pinky and The Brain.

This is Calvin, a.k.a. Pinky:

And this is Sam, a.k.a. The Brain:

Calvin is smart, but silly, and happy-go-lucky all the time. His mind is always "out there"...coming up with questions like "Daddy, what if fish had fur?"

Sam, on the other hand, is Ghengis Khan in a five-year-old's body. His favorite game is to drive his enemies before him, and hear the lamentation of their women.

So the following exchange would be perfectly in character for them:

"What're we gonna do tonight, Sam?"
"The same thing we do every night, Calvin...TAKE OVER THE WORLD!"

[Oberon]

Shudder. I don't like to think what would have happened if I'd ever come home past, oh, nine o'clock if I hadn't cleared it beforehand.

I was known as the "good kid," so, paradoxically, I could get away with murder on the few occasions when I actually wanted to act out.

[JenB]

I think you must have mixed their names up. Every Calvin I've known has been an active, agressive, manly little boy. Like all the Seths I've known.

[Oberon]

I might well have got their names scrambled, then, because Calvin is the contemplative one, and Sam is the totally agro little world-beater.

[g'nad]

theboy (7), is active, imaginative, and tender hearted... thenewboy (2), is like Conan on steroids and acid...

he's been seen runnin' thru the house, nekkid from the waist down, swingin' a battle axe as big as he is while screamin' at the top of his lungs... not that there's anything wrong with that...

thegirl (9) is brilliant, and just tries to keep enuff distance between her and the two hooligans to read her books, play her music, and be in charge...

[RosieCotton]

*sniff*

I miss thegirl...

[RosieCotton]

Cute kids! How old is Calvin?

[Oberon]

he's been seen runnin' thru the house, nekkid from the waist down, swingin' a battle axe as big as he is while screamin' at the top of his lungs... not that there's anything wrong with that...

I was going to say, he probably wouldn't raise an eyebrow at a good Freeper party...

[Oberon]

Calvin's 9.

[g'nad]

heh... he is a FReeper party...

[g'nad]

Margaret called her yesterday... she really appreciated that...
