w-t-f, w-h-o c-a-r-e-s

The four year old is playing on the laptop, doing quite a good job at using the mouse and arrow keys and whatnot. There's some kind of game where you choose a person... character... thing and play. 

Mom walks over and says in a low voice, "I *thought* he was going to pick the b-l-a-c-k f-e-m-a-l-e character, but he ended up picking the boy with blonde hair."

I said, "Oh it doesn't matter, it's a game, let him choose whatever he wants! He's USING A MOUSE."

Mom replies, "Well I just thought maybe he was confused....."

WTF.

Fox Blocked

Dad is trying desperately to get to his favorite news source via the browser on his iphone, but an ad for Glad trash bags keeps popping up or is the destination of a redirection. He's really frustrated by it and can't make it stop doing that or go away or get to the actual webpage.

I'm not offering to help.

.... and she DIED

Yes, I just heard the Seinfeld envelope glue poisoning story as a cautionary tale that Mom just told the 6 year old. GREAT JOB GRANDMA.

Also, we all went for a walk earlier. Did you all know that the reason pedestrians walk facing traffic isn't to increase visibility for everyone involved, oh no. It's for the somewhat related but decidedly insane reason that the driver of the car MIGHT FALL ASLEEP AND SWERVE INTO YOU.

I heard this story and yelled ahead, "When he has nightmares I'm sending him to you!!"

Milkin dew

The milk has arrived. In a mountain dew bottle.  Because it seals it! And it would go bad at home!
