Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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

Isn't it great that you live where there are somewhat better than average odds of the house's owner confirming Matilda's belief by walking out dressed in a bunny suit at some point?

I have, in fact, seen somebody dressed as the Easter Bunny ride by my house on a bike.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now you know where he lives.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

More snow impending. Band meeting coming up, with bonus icebreaker games. Sheesh.

Our wings are not tired.

My grandfather used to love telling me about how when I was little, I came to him wailing one day. He asked what was wrong and I told him that "Christina doesn't want to play with me! She's being mean to me! Waaaaaaaaaah wahhhhhhhhh waahhhh."

Christina was my imaginary friend.

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

My sister had an imaginary Uncle Henry who lived in Australia. He had a kangaroo farm.

And you know the fences on that thing would be insane.

Kangaroo proof fence?

It's like a rabbit proof fence, only four metres tall. (And, I like to think, made entirely out of rubber. BOIIIIINGG!)

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

Back to Death and children, I Tivoed The River Cottage Treatment because I wanted Emmett to see it. (He did not want to watch it however.)

But I played it anyway and Matilda watched. When they got to the part where they were butchering rabbits she yelped, "Those are cats!"

Me: "No, those aren't cats. Those are rabbits."
Matilda: "We don't eat animals!"
Emmett and I together (perhaps too enthusiastically): "Yes, we do!
Matilda: "No, no no. I only eat ham and meat."
Us: "Welllll....."

Matilda: "We don't eat sheep. Sheep are fluffy. They're too fluffy."
