Thoughts on the Day

  • Is it a bad thing to wake up tired and go downhill from there all day?
  • An alpaca, which is unhappy about being given a haircut, makes a sound not unlike a wounded rabbit, only louder.
  • We made sure to pat Boo down for contraband mammals as we left the farm this morning.
  • There are few things less patient than a group of six year old children waiting for an Easter egg hunt to begin.
  • If you witness a child in an Easter egg hunt fall and spill his eggs, yelling at your own child to “Get those eggs!” will mark you as a jerk and deserving of derision.
  • If, on the other hand, you realize that a young child is leaving an Easter egg hunt empty-handed and go behind the scenes to bring out a dozen more eggs for him, then you get marked as a good person.
  • Girlie Bear was assigned the task to watch a World War II documentary or movie as homework.
    • Her teacher included “Inglourious Basterds” in the list of suggested titles.  I had to explain to Girlie Bear that it was not acceptable for her to watch and why.
    • She settled on Ken Burns’ “The War“.
  • Maybe waiting until the day before Easter to buy supplies for Easter baskets was a misstep on my part.

    Inglorious Bastards??? Seriously? There are much choices than that. The Dirty Dozen would be better than that. The Great Escape, Bridge Over The River Kwai, and even U-571 just to name a few.

      He’s an idiot. I almost suggested she watch “Downfall” and write about the characters in that to see if he recognized the more obscure top Nazi’s.
