Out Of The Bed And Out Of The Blue

"Mom, is the meaning of life two parallel lines going up and up and up forever without ever touching?"

"Mom, if two parallel lines touch will the universe end?"

"Mom, what will happen if we put a gopher in the microwave?"

All of that before my first cup of coffee?  Not cool, kid.  Not cool.

Now I'm worried about the gophers. I hope they don't forget where they are going and knock two parallel lines together!

PS--PLEASE tell us no gophers were harmed in the making of this blog post.

Oh Wow, you should a least get a cup of coffee first. LOL, I think all the gophers should run and hide.

Pat Hatt said...

Those poor gophers better stay in their holes.

Akelamalu said...

Whoah all those questions!!!!

Lynn said...

So you all have irritating gophers around?

Well I heard animals explode but I had fruit flies in there and they seemed to like being zapped a number of times and nothing happened to them lol

G-Man said...

Secret Mom Thoughts said...

Wow. Deep thinking before coffee is not fair or fun.

That'll make a mom's head explode.

Kids and their dang questions. Perhaps you need to make a chart indicating the caffeine intake level necessary to answer specific questions:

2 cups for every one question regarding mathematics

3 cups for explaining the effects of microwave radiation on small mammals

At least 1 glass of wine for every philosophical enquiry

etc.... ;)

Take a deep breath, wave a warning to the gophers, have an extra cup of coffee and go back to bed as soon as possible!! Oh, and be glad there's only one doing the questioning and not four!! Have a fun day, MZ!

How about ground hogs? Maybe sewer rats? Do they explode? Maybe we should just start with marshmallows and eggs. What do you think? Mom, are you listening?

JenLive! said...

She's a philosopher and mad scientist.

And I'm a dork...my last comment didn't even make sense, so I deleted it. I guess I need more coffee...

Kelly said...

That's some deep stuff there. I'm not sure I could handle all of that even after a caffeine fix!

G said...

At least yours decided to use nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs today.

Mine chose to go non-verbal this morning.

'Course, she was wearing a t-shirt that said, "I'm confused."

Why am I immediately reminded of Ghostbusters?

EGON: Don't cross the streams.
PETER: Why?
EGON: It would be bad.
PETER: I'm fuzzy on the whole good-bad thing. What do you mean, bad?
EGON: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
RAY: Total protonic reversal!
PETER: All right, that's bad, okay. Important safety tip, don't cross the streams. Thanks, Egon.

I needed a shot of caffeine after reading that.

Pat said...

Holy Crap! I'm glad my kids are grown!

BTW - received the book in the mail the other day! Thanks again!

Margaret said...

never cross the streams, it would be bad.

Alice Audrey said...

LOL! I'm so glad my kids have mostly outgrown that. But they still think parallel lines crossing might end the universe.

fallenrhainnes said...

Madeleine Begun Kane said...

LOL! How does the same child who asks the first two questions, ask the third one? :)
