Tiny Thoughts

You don't need to use global warming, or the various wars in the Middle East, as a milestone for why the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Just go to a baby store. This is nothing new new for me. I have an older child. Some of the junk was around back in the day. The latest trend of having a crib turn into a bed is shocking mostly because the cribs are so thick they remind me of overpriced caskets. Remind me to build my own casket out of plywood and to get high school kids to spray paint graffiti on it; maybe it will keep them from spray painting a wall or two.

Cave people probably didn't even have animal skin, if they happened to give birth before a primative knife had been fabricated. Now you need a walking stroller and a running stroller. You need a real crib and a porta crib.

We are getting a few rooms in our house painted. This has spawned several elaborate dreams where there is a painter in our house, and so every scene in the dream has a painter in the background. Having a painter in the background is a good scene filler. In fact, I should just hire the guy 24/7 so there is always a painter in the background. The painter allows you to have an empty room, and an overfilled room with twice the furniture, in no particular order. You can do whatever you want, because you have an excuse. There is a painter in the house.
