Yes, today is the obligatory, “Hey-I’m-really-busy-and-everyone-I-work-with-on-a-website-is-all-meeting-in-Disney-World-but-I-couldn’t-go-because-I-bought-a-house-and-have-no-disposable-income-and-my-kids-would-kill-me-if-I-went-anyway-but-here-are-some-stupid-observations-before-I-go-off-and-read-the-second-draft-of-some-chapters-from-an-Epidemiology-book” post.
My new technology was installed yesterday. It’s a Tivo. Groovy. I think I love it.
And today, whilst I work, I’m listening to archives of CDs that various friends have given me over the years. The best one, oddly enough, is probably the oldest. Recorded in Nashville, circa 2000, I think. Again, groovy.
I do have one question, however. Are two-year olds, especially ones that have barely crossed that threshold, supposed to be able to understand the concept of “pretend”?
Gertrude was playing with Play-Dough and started to put it up to her mouth.
“Gertrude, no,” I cried hoping to stop her from putting that brown sludge in her mouth.
“Daddy,” she said, looking at me like I’m an idiot, “It pretend.” She then proceeded to make pretend eating noises.
Well, duh.
