3. Is it time for a little chat? Good luck!

[Deja Q]

4. Tell 'im they grow from eggs, fertilized by sperm...

and then ensure LeftyKid doesn't mix up 'spore' with anything else... :blush:

Unless LeftyKid thinks humanity is a fungus? :shrug:

[QMPMom]

5. Well, some "humanity" seems like a fungus. Especially those

supposed humans named Bush. There seem so be untold numbers of them and they are damned hard to get rid of. JUST like a fungus.

[billyskank]

6. For real

I was thinking about that. All these fuckers like Rumsfeld and Cheney - they were dreaming up "unitary executive" shit back in the Nixon administration! And all these neocon fuckups from the Reagan years, too. They just keep coming back!

7. He might have been trying to imitate a Calvin and Hobbes strip.

There's one where Calvin asks that very same question...at 2 AM after having woken his mother up. :evilgrin:

You're fortunate he screwed it up.

[LeftyMom]

9. That's probably where he got the idea, he's rather fond of the books

I figured it had to be something like that. :eyes:

11. SPORES?!?

You wake me up at 2 am to ask if people grow from spores? Are you out of your mind?? Why are you even awake?! Go to sleep!!

[u4ic]

12. Some do...

They're a fungus upon the earth.



He just described most politicians.

13. Tell him they do. Sound REAL convincing. Then send him off to school

to argue with his teacher about it. Watch the hilarity ensue.

Some days I fully understand why God thought it best not to bless me with children.

14. They do indeed, son. And that's why you must go scrub the kitchen with ammonia & bleach

Because we don't want anymore people popping up unexpectedly. Do the bathroom while you're at it. Scrub extra hard on the shower. I hate it when people spawn in there while I'm taking a shower.
