Decisions, Decisions

Get up and be productive, or stay in bed and listen to the rain fall...

*sigh* Productivity beckons.

Classic parenting moment: Hubby consoles a child after his soccer team's stinky loss.

Child: They would have won if I hadn't messed up. I shouldn't have played today.
Hubby: Oh buddy, it's OK. That team was way better than yours, there's no way you guys could have won that game.

The funny thing is, it actually worked. In the right context it sounded fine - our boy did make a pretty big error, and his team would have tied the other team if he hadn't made it. But I couldn't help cracking up and as soon as Hubby heard what he said, it hit him how very awful it sounded... good stuff.

LATER: Just saw the film Contagion with Brennan and Bella... now to go home and boil everything. Also: Holy Jude Law Needs Orthodontia, Batman!!!!

The movie was all right. I wouldn't watch it again. It wasn't as intense as it looked in the previews, and of course a lot of people got sick and died and it was more icky than anything. There was a lot of predicting who would die next. Seems like there were so many characters, it was hard to get attached to anyone or care about what happened. But it was interesting. I loved the autopsy scene.

After watching this movie, you won't want to touch anything with your hands, including your own face.
