"This is leaves... Do you know how to... do this?... I'll show you."

Continuing with today's theme of what to do with leaves....

I like these abbreviations -- conversation => convo, distribution => distro.

There are probably other abbreviations that follow this rule, but I do not know what they are. I think they are novel, but I am not sure when they arose, or where.

But, should I drink water?

As a child, I remember being tormented by certain sounds, colors and textures.

I don't remember tormenting my father with nonsense.

By now, the child must understand that the father enjoys getting material for his show.

She's a co-author of a script and she now knows it.

Thus, it becomes more surreal and less about the way children really are.

Which makes it less fascinating that a man is playing the role of the little girl.

what the hell? Even though I teach pre-K and think the kids are often hilarious, and sometimes profound, i could NOT WATCH much of THIS! the really funny moment in all this is that I was watching on my MacAir instead of my usual iPad, and I was touching the screen all over the place, increasingly frantic to MAKE IT STOP! Then I had a good laugh at myself.

and... I think Althouse nailed why this is creepy instead of funny. ok, surreal is a kind way to put it.
