[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Tim, that's incredibly wrong and yet still funny.
Twins seem to bring up this urge to experiment in a nature vs. nurture sort of way. Friends of ours have identical twins who are about 7, I think. One day within earshot of both of them, C, the father said, "They're our own little science experiment. We're giving all of our love to one of them but not the other." In their identical twin voices, they each said, "I'm the one you love, right?"
I was picturing that as a Berkeley Breathed children's book.
Damn, that'd make a pretty good SNL skit if Angelina Jolie were hosting.
Quoted for truth.
I am so excited to be an auntie and spoil them rotten every time your back is turned.
I'm counting on you to do that.
I have this fantasy that Kat and Lori run into self-involved actress and take those two kids, too. Kat uses her knitting needles to make a point and Lori sets up the Mars arm thing to keep SAG member pinned while the two kids are rescued.
We have been known to say loudly in front of ours, "Do we really need TWO children?" Then they start bargaining over which one goes. Lately my son points out that our daughter is already written out of the will, and besides she's going to need college money soon.
This would make a funny, wacky Drive plot line.

That is brilliant. They should definitely use that strategy for something.
Tim, if I spent all of my time rescuing children from self-involved adults, let alone self-involved holllywood types, it would be a full time superhero job. It might even have a terrible pay rate and be called something like "teacher." But it's a good fantasy nevertheless.
Lori has been saying that with twins we are single-fault tolerant and one is a flight hardware and the other is flight-spare.
