bended like backham

last night, i picked up tara after the soccer practice.

she ran to me, very excited: "i bended like backham!"

tara is playing for dunbar soccer, for almost six months.

she hated it in the beginning, and finally, in the last few weeks she started to understand the game and enjoy it.

we saw "bended like backham" movie few weeks ago - and, i guess, it gave her even more boost.

she runs like hell, dribble like whirligig and now she bends like backham!

bush scarry

yesterday, while we were picking up luka from daycare (and before any relevant election results) i've jokingly asked him:

"luka, who's gonna win, bush or kerry?"

my three-years-old, struggling with english and still under the influence of the halloween party from a few nights before, just blankly repeated what he has heard:

"bush scarry?"

today, i am thinking how the whole world looks way more scary than yesterday.

this is a sad day.

a good-night story

kids were fed and happy, ready for the good-night story.

daddy was caffeinated and hectic, not very much in the story-telling mood.

kids were laughing: "daddy, daddy, tell us a story".

daddy tried to sneak out, make himself a long espresso and watch tv: "daddy had a very long day. daddy was working until his brain was starting to break into pieces and until he could hear these brain pebbles rolling and echoing in his head."

kids were interested: "we like the beginning, tell us more".

daddy wasn't happy: "i hardly made it home today, guys, my legs felt heavy, while my head was swinging left and right, to and fro under the action of gravity and all the brain pebbles just flew out of my head - nothing good inside to be able to tell a nice story!"

kids were sympathetic: "oooh, that's sad. is it a real story? what happens in the end?"

daddy was loosing his patience: "i dunno, you guys tell me."

kid boy: "ok, here we go: tired daddy ran into an elephant. elephant farted and daddy got all recovered by the organic elephant fart. oh, how that fart made daddy smart!"

kid girl: "not very nice! tired daddy ran into a tart, ate a tart and became smart. oh, how that tart made daddy smart!"

daddy liked both endings - he felt he needed a story more than kids.

later, he went downstairs, juiced few apples and red beats and talked to his wife about how they have wonderful kids that fill them with joy.

the mighty master of the web and the rest of the universe

java classes and SDK make you smile? feeling very artsy on tuesdays? sure, your weblog is such a fine literature. and no scope-creep when you set up the goals and milestones and write deliverables.
