Kizzy is the lady with the killer smile. Her birth date is Jan 1995 and we still have conversations about who is in charge.
Let’s think this through, Calvin. Who will tuck you in at night and give you the hug that makes everything alright? Meanwhile you have all day for ‘saurus type adventures.
Calvin is just disappointed that his beanie didn’t measure up to what he was hoping for to fly around.
Dino me I can’t handle caffeen it would win and I would loose by staying up most of the night not sleeping. Had that problem last night and no caffeen a song from tv got in my mind and I could not shut it off wound up getting up at 11:30pm and read till almost 1am and then it still took time to sleep.
This is some six year old. Working through some of life’s heaviest most existential questions while waiting for a bus. “of the study of many books is a weariness of the flesh”….
And pamlicorat,
Yes. Or at least, there was an episode where everybody died, and one bookworm remained. All the time in the world to read!
Then, in Twilight Zone fashion, he broke his glasses.
pamlicorat said: Wasn’t everybody being dead a Twilight Zone episode?
That’s exactly was I was thinking!
It was a 1959 T.Z. episode titled “Time Enough At Last” starring Burgess Meredith. He’s a bookish bank teller with really thick “coke-bottle” glasses that loves to read but between his wife, boss, and customers, can’t seem to find the time (or a quiet place) to do it. On his lunch hour one day, he sneaks into the bank’s vault to do some reading. A nuclear bomb goes off and kills everyone except him. He rejoices in the fact that without anyone to bother him, he now has all the time in the world to read anything and everything he wants from the town’s library. He stacks the books into towers and as he reaches for a particular book to read, his glasses slip off his face and get smashed. The episode ends with him crying and saying over and over again, “It’s not fair … it’s not fair.”

Good morning Marg! Good morning Fran and Shepmixmutt! Does the Shepmutt have a name?
Poor Calvin, he’s waiting for a nus he doesn’t want to get on, and that’s because the beanie doesn’t make him fly.

Perhaps Calvin would rather be inside a whale or a great fish. Would Calvin change his mind if all the people (everyone else) repented?
