The London mascots are like the cheap bad-orthodontia cousins of the Yo Gabba Gabba character, Muno, but without the irony.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

I had a hard time buying a rubber Muno for my neph. It's just WRONG.

Noah's really happy and really attention-getty and really sad too. He likes Grace. He likes sharing things with her by giving them to her. Today, before bathtime, both of them were coloring on the same sheet of paper and Grace was playing with the crayons well after he bathed.
But he's also dialed up to 11 these days and very clingy. And, because there is a nurse also in the house, he's very much performing which is not ideal. Today's nurse was great and really loving with him.
When he woke up this morning, he came into our bed and said, "I want to go to Grace's Place" which is what he called the care facility. I'm waiting for him to ask when she is leaving.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Kat, I can't tell you how much it tickles me to know that both of your beautiful children are at home, and being perfectly typical toddlers. There is no way on earth you fail at being a mom. You and K, and everyone else involved in loving and caring for those two, are what every child SHOULD have for family.
Barb, I'm not sure whether to laugh or be appalled. Way to embrace the Olympic spirit, funny-looking mascots!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What Maria said.
Actually, if you read the description of those mascots, I think they way OVERthought them. They're like super bad tattoos, trying to symbolize everything at once and losing all coherence and art in the process.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah - probably designed by a committee....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Poor Noah, it's going to be an adjustment for him, but that's OK.
I can't believe he was trying to crawl into Grace's crib.
I can. Franny used to climb into Isaac's crib all the time. I've shared the story of when she changed his diapers, right? Thanks little helper!
I'm baking brownies for Isaac's teachers right now. I wish I were in bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Synthetic life has been created.
As long as it doesn't look like a London Olympics mascot....
I say keep the creepy and inexplicable Olympics mascots coming. I'd like Atlanta to be able to retire the "worst mascot ever" crown.

On Grey's--seriously, why did they kill Reed and not annoying girl-in-love-with-Shepherd??? ANNOYING.
Also this whole episode is making me SO FREAKING TENSE. Damn.
