Mimi Smartypants wins:
Yesterday she had a paperback copy of Existentialism and Human Emotions clutched in her grubby little fist, and she shrieked bloody murder when I tried to get her to release the Sartre.* In fact she would not relinquish it for any reason whatsoever, so it went in the crib with her for a nap. My baby’s existence so totally precedes her essence.
*Oh man it would be so funny** if Clash of the Titans was reworked to be all about philosophers/phenomenologists. “Husserl! Release the Sartre!”
for some reason, i am unable to comment on the dogs post, but i am able to comment here. hmm.
anyhow. if i didn’t have dogs, the words “no, sweetie, it’s *my* job to eat the intruders” would never have passed my lips.
I must have accidentally closed the comments there earlier than I meant to – trying not to leave so many back doors for spammers.
i will tell the dogs that it’s okay to eat spammers.
