I don't know which was scarier...

So, this afternoon, after an entire afternoon of business meetings-- I shall never understand how just sitting on one's arse for hours on end can be more exhausting than a long slog through hard code-- I picked up Omaha and Kouryou-chan in order to give Omaha a ride to her evening class.

And as we're driving up to Seattle, I hear Kouryou-chan, the four-year-old, say in a loud voice, "Mom, can I set fire to my bed?"

"What?" Omaha and I say in unison. She turns around to look, and Kouryou-chan is giggling madly. "Oh," says Omaha. "She's reading a book. It's Calvin and Hobbes."

Oh, sure, that's all right then.

My son Puppy has been reading Calvin and Hobbes. Both books. Thank Cthulhu we haven't had transmogrifiers, manic sleigh rides, and toilet bowl rides...
