Another Mystery

Yesterday’s post reminded me of another mystery:  How can someone walk around all day without extreme anxiety, knowing this is sitting on his bathroom counter?

That is a bottle of rubbing alcohol (doesn’t that stuff evaporate quickly or something?), with the cap upside down, balancing on the neck of the bottle, and a Q-Tip on top for good measure.  Oh, and did you notice that the bottle is hanging off the edge of the recessed sink?

Men are weird.  And yes, I put it away after I took the photo.

Does 6+6=4+8?

Is it just me, or would this make you uncomfortable about drinking the soda, too?  I mean, I don’t see how that could have happened as an error in the normal packaging process.  (Yes, the 4-pack and the 8-pack were both inside the 12-pack, which is supposed to contain loose cans.)

Shea’s Blog has this week’s Objectivist Round Up.

Sammy was really upset about something and no matter what I said, she didn’t like it.  Finally, I asked her, “Do you want me to just be quiet?”  She said, very sweetly and sincerely:

NO, MOMMY.  I WANT YOU TO TALK TO ME BUT I DON’T WANT YOU TO USE ANY WORDS.

I even managed not to laugh.  (I’m getting better at that!)

Samantha is currently fascinated with good guys, bad guys, and policemen.  The other day, we saw a policeman and Sam said:

MOMMY, IS THAT A POLICEMAN?
Yes.
AND POLICEMEN LOCK UP BAD GUYS AND NEVER LET THEM OUT?
Well, yes, sometimes they lock up bad guys to keep the good people safe.
AND THEY LOCK THEM IN A ROOM.
They lock them in jail, or prison.
NO, MOMMY, NOT JAIL. THEY LOCK THEM IN NEW JERSEY.
