You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.

You still can't shackle your child to the bed, right?

No, but I put a door-knob safety devise on the door knob on the inside of Owen's bedroom to prevent him from opening it and wandering around at night. I just have to make sure not to lose the little key thing so that I can unlock the door from the outside when he accidentally pushes the lock while trying to fiddle it open.

They do make child-proofing kits for the lever-doors, too. And I'd be gating those stairs.

Welcome to the Toddler Cold Wars. Your enemy is younger, more creative and has had more sleep than you. Your job is to put up as many blockades to freedom as you can devise, no matter how expensive or complicated they make YOUR life. You're fighting a losing battle to uphold the status quo, knowing, all the while, that they will eventually find away around, into or out of whatever you've set up.

But at least it slows them down long enough for you to catch them before they maim or kill themselves.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm fairly certain that Em is part velociraptor. Or so my sitting-on-baby experience tells me.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Well, my labelling system is a little "iffy", I confess, but I could've sworn I used "mammalian DNA" for my in-vitro genetic manipulations. Though it is stored next to "Dino DNA - VR" on my shelf...

Uh...I mean...HA HA HA WHAT A GOOF YOU ARE, KRISTIN! TO THINK THAT MY DARLING BABY WOULD HAVE BEEN GENETICALLY MODIFIED BY ME! HA! HA!

I'm still waiting for the heat vision to kick in, though...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Velociraptors also spit acid, right? Or some kind of crap that causes paralysis....

At least they did in that movie....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

At least they did in that movie....

No, that was the dilophosaur. I'm sure MM wouldn't have tried to splice in DNA from two raptors...

Those were dilophosaurus.

Oh Cashmere, how I love you.
