Four:

1) rafaela cut short my trip to the instant lottery vending machine with a curt, "Bad Quaker! No oatmeal!" I informed her that I might start talking to her again by the time we got home. (Upon discussion later, we determined that as funny as the comment was, it wasn't horribly accurate; this was how I decided to look into getting T-shirts made up that read, "Bad Quaker! No potluck!")

2) Sometimes I just feel plain dumb:
Abbey: Daddy! I did a scientific experiment!
Me: Oh?
Abbey: Yeah! I mixed Chemical Z with Chemical Y and Chemical X.
Me: Really? And what did you get?
Abbey: Chemical W.
*cough* Yeah. I knew that.

3) Creepy wasted 60-year-old guys in bars who want to strike up conversations about Mad Dog 20/20. No. Just...no.

4) Tomorrow, I get to pick up the kids early, and keep them overnight over to Memorial Day. We have no plans set in stone, save this: stay out of the apartment as long as is humanly possible. See, this place is small. I have no toys. I have no cable. The kids have no choice but to murder each other. Playground, here we come...

Kids always have choices. And each other probably isn't their first. You, or Her. Or both together.

Did you investigate the nature of this experiment? :>

Bad Quaker. Go to your room, and I better not hear any silence coming from there, either.

Abbey is awesome. Some day she is going to rule the world. I think that her and kyril would get along just great. She would understand him perfectly. And you are just going to have to learn chemistry all over again apparently.

Well, they certainly made a go at all of the above this weekend. Pardon me while I search for a ball peen hammer to put my spine back in alignment...

That falls securely under the parameters of the "don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to" rule.

Actually, if you ask her, she already rules the world. That's what frightens me.

You may live to regret that. ;>
