Advanced Parenting

I took Charlie for an eye check up today (and got told to come back in a year - yay!), and on the way I had a conversation with him that really stretched my psychic parenting ability.

So I offer this as a challenge to the reader. What do you think this question means?

When you go down the green when you go to the light do you crack into bits?

I had him repeat this several times.

Then I thought about it some more.

Any ideas?

I'll give you a hint, if you've never watched the Simpsons, you have no hope in hell.

Got it?

He was essentially asking if you always crack up into dust if you go through the purple light in your wall and end up in a higher dimensional universe and proceed to fall into a singularity.

I said "No."

I don't need another source of nightmares. The giant Mr Squito that eats him is quite enough.

  1. This afternoon Caitlin apparently decided to tell Tom scary stories while they were playing on the trampoline. When he came inside he immediately started telling me about the stories along with his analysis of his probable reaction to having heard them. He anticipates nightmares and thinks he really shouldn't let Caitlin tell him stories.

    I reckon Caitlin shouldn't tell him stories because then I have to listen to him talking about them ad infinitum.

    (Mr Squito is great, I'm stealing it!)

  2. Yes indeed - if she tells the stories, surely she should hear the interminable analysis thereof. :)

  3. Ariane,
    surely the correct answer is 'no you
    end up next an erotic cake shop and everything tastes delicious'.

    cheers,
    Neil

  4. Well, yes, that is the correct answer. However, I chose the conversation ending one. :)
