The lines between sarcastic humor and reality are so blurry these days that sometimes I have a hard time spotting the jokes.

Don't worry Lucy, I won't get your toys. You will be missed.

[Ben]:Stuff Adelle Says Discuss This [0 comments so far] View Comments
Today Adelle got my copy of Tunnel in the Sky off the shelf. Cara asked her what the book was called. She said "Heinlein."

Cara texted me at the time and mentioned it at dinner (without using any of the key words) and I said "Wow, she knows the author!". Then, thinking better of it, I demurred "Or at least something she heard in association with the book."

Cara thought about it for a second, shrugged and asked Adelle "Who wrote Tunnel in the Sky?" No visual cues at all.

Adelle didn't miss a beat. "Heinlein."

A conversation at the back window.
"Snow falling down. Oh no!"
"What's 'oh no!' Adelle?"
Pointing at a lawnchair that blew over: "Chair fall down. Pick up?"
Pointing at pond "Water. Blow bubbles!"

At the kitchen table.
"Mama sitting. Daddy sitting. Adelle sitting. All sitting!"

Cara looking outside talking to me: "Yeah, it's bad."
Adelle: "It bad!"

I don't do Facebook, so this will have to do for randomly pushing baby stories.

When I'm done giving Adelle a bath, I'll ask her if she's ready to get "all dry". After drying her off, I put on a diaper and get her dressed. Recently I was finished drying her so I threw the damp towel on the ground. She looked up at me and said: "Oh no, all-dry fall down."

This morning she decided she wanted to count.
Adelle: "One, two free, four, six, eight, nine, eleven, firteen."

Needless to say, I grounded her for being wrong.

Today I see stories about an asteroid mining company preparing to send out prospecting space ships and a billionaire wearing augmented-reality glasses on the subway.

How incredible is that? On one day, a major step toward harvesting materials from asteroids and a billionaire on the subway. Amazing.
