Sonofabitch is gone.
He's being replaced by the head of the Coast Guard, who by all accounts did a great job.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was blown away when I found out that "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" is actually about Art Garfunkel.
I'll see your "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" (which is easy, since I've never heard of it) and raise you a "Little Red Corvette."
In my defense -- Trojans weren't a popular condom brand where I grew up.
It's not much of a defense, but it's all I have.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Or, upon noticing it has been awfully quiet for a just a smidge too long, wander into the kitchen to find a not-yet-walking babt happily sitting in the cabinet, chortling with quiet glee as he consumes fistfuls of peanut butter straight from the tub.
BWAH!
Funny cause that was me yesterday.

Better peanut butter from the tub than silver polish, I guess.
Given it was very clear from early on that my nephew was going to be Danger Boy, everything clearly toxic was housed elsewhere. Well, as long as you count all my brother's flipping car parts and sockets and wires as nontoxic. But the child learned early how to work a socket wrench!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'll see your "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" (which is easy, since I've never heard of it)

See, this is reason 1,529 why I should never be a parent. I see a bottle of roach spray under the sink and think, good place for it. Near any potential roaches. Who on earth would try to eat roach spray anyway?
Apparently nearly any toddler on earth, that's who.

As for the reason they're dangerous, maybe it has to do with the fact that they contain protein? I don't know why I think that, I just do.
IIRC, it's something about the structure of the protein in peanuts.

I think self-destruction is one of the primary goals of the toddler, right after not going to sleep and getting to the candy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well again, I think the speculation about them becoming so common is based on the idea that kids are exposed to too much of it, too soon.
I just don't get how kids now are more exposed than, say, kids in my generation. We were all about peanut butter, and I never went to school with a seriously peanut-allergic kid. It's not that I don't believe it, I just don't get it.
