And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Remember that formula for how young a man you can date that we talked about (something about half your age plus 12???) My cow-orker is in need of it, does anyone remember? And so you remember the source?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Half your age plus 7, and I think the source is lost in the mists of time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

what's the last thing that made you smile?

Matilda laying her head down on the pillow next to mine, our noses a bare inch apart, and then solemnly announcing: "Eyes. Nose. Chin" et al.

Also, yesterday I asked her (as one often does with toddlers this age) "What does a dog say?"

And she opened her mouth and made a panting sound.

That's one thing she does that Emmett didn't. Emmett would learn the rote response and repeat it back to you. But Matilda will actually observe the animal so that cats don't say "Meow" but "Waohh!" and dogs pant and ducks go (quite loudly) "KWAK!"

Now this is the last thing that made me smile! She's right, too! I remember being annoyed when I realized that the animals didn't actually sound like the word for their sound.

From the men's sabre final: [link]

I'm pretty sure it's mostly camera angle mixed with a bit of "caught at an odd high-speed moment", but the pose is straight from one of those ridiculously bendy silent-film clowns.

You mean like how the cow doesn't go "moo", but more like möö?

Yes! And a cat doesn't say "meow" but more like rIA-OAWw.
