This probably belongs more in one of the regular “cute things yr kidz sez” threads, but the Smaller Girl has recently developed a habit of fixing her steely gaze upon her food and saying “Sandwich! It Is Your Day … TO DIE!”
cue maniacal cackle. And yes, she cackles very well. Bit of a worry, really…
Sounds like a line she’s picked up from a movie or something to me.
No idea how highly Aspidistra values hers, but my mother always used to say “Wouldn’t buy for a penny, wouldn’t sell for a million” about us.
Yes, chalk is like doom. Obviously your child is very smart. He realizes that everything turns to dust (chalk). By doom it is meant the end. Once again correct.
How meta would it have been if later the same day an obviously psychotic street person approached the OP, glared, and muttered, “Is chalk like DOOM???”
I’m gonna sing the doom song now!..
I can remember pondering that very thought! And trying to work out in my mind the mechanics, given that various cars were going in different directions at the same time. A real brain teaser when I was younger.
One of my earliest memories is the following conversation with my dad while he was driving:
Me, observing the other vehicles on the road: Dad, all these people didn’t leave home at the same time, did they?
Dad: Um, no.
Me, proudly: I KNEW it! Cause if they did, all the cars would be side by side on the road!
That’s completely irrelevant to the choice of frame of reference. You’re thinking about the car being still in reference to a point that’s neither on Earth’s surface nor in the car and to which the Earth itself counts as still (so, say, the center of the Earth); I’m talking about the car being still with reference to itself, which it is - always.
As I told my parents one time that they accused me of getting lost (age 9): “no I didn’t! I knew where I was! I didn’t know where you were, but that’s different!”
I understand that. However, which of these possibilies was **Mangetout’s **daughter thinking about?
Never mind her, she’s always been a troublemaker.
