I don't know if I should

or

My dad, the physics prof, once briefly had a student who signed up for his quantum mechanics course because he wanted to learn how to fix cars.

Did anyone else notice that mini-vans are now at least as big as full size vans used to be?

Today in the car the mm was telling me about some people in the audience of a play she watched the previous night:

"...he was the brother of the girl with the red, flowing locks."

I think she may be reading too much.

Excellent!

I thought Common Core was put in place to prevent that sort of frivolity...

That and Fahrenheit 451.

Minifob has gained a reputation for asking somewhat insane questions in class, and the teachers regularly share them with me. The other day, his music teacher is talking about orchestras, and all the different instruments, and how the different sounds combine to make the overall music.

Minifob raises his hand in all solemnity, and asks, "How many orchestras were there in the world, in 1970?"

It's important to note that there had been zero references to 1970 or any other specific year during that class, or any other class in recent memory.

That's probably as far back as he goes, after that it's all the same. Sort of like when we think of when the dinosaurs lived or the difference between one and two light years. In other words, fucking far away and a long time ago.

That is funny, though.

It's a trap, he's researched and knows how many, so he can tell if she's lying.

I read a thing recently revealing that the Tyrannosaurus was closer to us in the timeline than it was to the Stegosaurus. Or maybe not those two, but it was some pair of well-known dinosaurs, anyway. The idea was we forget that "the dinosaurs" spanned hundreds of millions of years and instead just sort of lump them all together into one spot in history.
