Danger Monkey, age 9: “EARTHQUAKE!!!”
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “Stop shaking the table and yelling EARTHQUAKE.”
DM: “How else will your dolls learn emergency preparedness?”
LMT: “You aren’t playing Shopkins right. Nothing BAD ever happens to them!”
DM: “Then what’s the point?”
LMT: “I get to make them do whatever I want.”
DM: “That sounds BAD for them.”
LMT: “No, they like it.”
Little Miss Thing, age 6: “Can I play with this keyboard?”
Me: “Sure.”
LMT: “What is CMD?”
Me: “That is an abbreviation for COMMAND.”
LMT: (eyes light up) “I have LOTS of commands to give!” (furious typing)
Me: “Oh God, what have I done?”
Good: Working from home.
Bad: Kids knocked over a jar of beets in back of fridge this morning while making breakfast, spilling fluorescent magenta juice over the majority of the contents and interior surfaces of the fridge.
Worse: I didn’t notice it for two hours.
THE WORST: I’m the only one here to clean it up.
