As far as a male/female relationship I'm a huge fan of an intellectually arrogant male with subtle hints of superiority and mysoginy countered by a pretty, likeable female, with the underlying tone being that the man is an idiot completely incapable of operating without the underappreciated and mostly unnoticed help of his partner, who in turn, is the genius masquerading as a nitwit.

Dr Eric describing almost every marraige since monogoamy began...

"It's a hard thing to accept, after 20 years of marriage, that I'm not the smart one in the relationship."

family conversations

My sister let her 5 and 3 year olds watch "Old Yeller".

Afterwards...

3 yr old Eva: (with a romantic, wishful, 'ponies and princesses' look in her eye) "sigh... Mommy? Why never we had a dog and then shooted it??"

Their Dad: "You know, when I was a little boy I had a dog. .......but then your grandpa had to shoot it."

5 yr old Nathaniel: "YEAH! Common! It would be fun!"


...So, this is what families are supposed to do together.


Those poor, twisted children.
