Doesn't everyone have conversations like this with their kids?

[drwex]

L woke Pygment up too early this AM so she's been a bit more snappish than her usual tolerant self.

L: Daddy! Guess what?
Me: What?
L: Guess what Mommy told me I could do with my truck?
Me: Was it printable?

Shortly thereafter, L is hanging over my left shoulder, staring at my computer screen.

Me: Please don't stand there staring at my screen.
- L moves to the other side -
Pygment: Now you're standing over Daddy's *other* shoulder.
L: You're not helping!

(While shoveling I tried unsuccessfully to filk on the following theme:
I'm dreaming of a brown Christmas
One where I don't have to shovel every thing I know.)

I don't see why you've marked this inappropriate for minors....

[caulay.livejournal.com]

His entire LJ is marked such, so all entries get that applied to them.

[drwex]

*I* didn't mark it that way. It's LJ's idiocy. I just marked my whole journal as "may contain... blah blah". It manifests.

[ringrose.livejournal.com]

Huh... and it means I hardly ever bother to click through to read it.
I suppose I could go lie to LJ about my age, since they have no right to know.

...and apparently, their highly complex "don't show content to minors" scheme can be thwarted by typing "1890" into a birthday field. Go figure.

A solution! Finally. I have done just as you have, read much less lj because my compy is a bit slow and I'm so irate about this whole lj netnanny scheme. Thankee. How did you learn that?

I'm dreaming of a dry Christmas,
just like the ones I'd love to know,
where the slush is missing, and dates are kissing,
without it being ten below,

I'm dreaming of a dry Christmas,
with every shovelload I lift,
May your walks be clear and your parking near and
thoughts be the only thing to drift,

I'm dreaming of a dry Christmas,
where traffic moves beyond a crawl,
May your days be sunny with cheer...
and may all your Christmas skies be clear.

Bravo! Source? If that is your creation, my ski-hat is doffed to you. *makes with the doffing, with grand sweeping flourish*

[gentlescholar.livejournal.com]

Is me. I had the advantage of a computer and not shovelling snow at the time.

*applause*

[drwex]

You win.

L: You're not helping!

Where have I heard this phrase, before? If only I could remember...
