I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I can't wait for the day on White Collar where he gets drunk or drugged and sings to Peter.

Wait, that ALREADY HAPPENED.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

A Tale of Two Cats

I pulled the laser pointer out for Puppycat. She's annoying me, I want her to run off energy. She zooms after, loses and is dazzled by the red dot. All about the chase. In fact, she's still looking for it now and I'm, in fact, typing, thus not making the zoomy dot appear.

Kittenish noticed the movement, walked up to the dot on the floor, sniffed it and walked off. It wasn't prey, it was a dot of light.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

At Christmas, we got a 9-month-old baby, who was just getting his crawling skills perfected, to chase a laser dot.

Is that wrong?

Because it made me want to have a kid, just so I could make it chase the laser dot. (And the whole world just thanked whatever they worship that I have an IUD.)

On the one hand, there are worse reasons to have a baby, but on the other, they, well, they do grow out of the laser dot-chasing phase.

My brother was just finishing up his child development classes when his eldest was born. There were a lot of "experiments" practiced on that kid. And subsequent kid, because it was fun the first time.

Figure if you can't experiment on your own kids, who can you?

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

Your sister.

If there is enough of an age difference. 3.5 years not enough.

Now I get my nephews. Because bro and SIL approve.
