Mine's the complete opposite. He'll lie and say that he doesn't know to try and escape punishment. Too bad lying only gets you worse.

There's a retired guy who hangs around the store where I work several evenings a week. He likes to talk to anybody about how his nine year old granddaughter lives with him and his wife, but they leave her home alone most days. When his audience is suitably appalled, he shows them a picture of a nine year old chocolate lab.

Paradox: Funny.grin

Gabe: And yes, Katie isn't that far off from a child in a lot of ways, I suspect.

Eddie: Ain't it great? The only quibble I have is that someone didn't fact check. He made the original Periodic Table of Tropes something like two or three years ago. He introduced the interactive version back in January.

Ninja I thought of you tonight:

My little spawnling merited up and received his tiger cub badge along with some belt loops and pins tonight.

If nothing else, therapy and scouts are the two constants I am not going to let him be without. I consider them pretty similar actually.

I've heard owning a parrot described as "committing to 50 years of raising a 2 year old".

Well, screw that. I'll stick with dogs. They're more like 3 and 4 year olds, meaning that they're usually adorable and easy to train.

And sometimes they're lazy, spoiled rotten little shits, but you love them anyway.

[up][up]I'd disagree with that. Parrots are a lot smarter than that. Take a four-year-old with enough memory to occasionally act with all the malice of an evil twelve-year-old. That's a parrot.

So, did anyone else watch the College Edition of Wheel Of Fortune last week? The one where University of Indiana discovered that he'd never heard anyone pronounce the word "Achilles?"

Texas Aggies now have a new claim to fame thanks to that episode: "At least we watched Troy."

Indiana University or University of Indianapolis?

Or possibly University of Southern Indiana?

Indiana University.

Wait, does it matter what order it gets put in? University of Texas is called Texas University all the time and no one cares.

It at least matters in the initials. We've got so many Us and Is around here that we have to keep the order straight.

Ninja: Yep! I am pretty excited for him. I'm also really hoping that he can make some new friends. I am also going to try and take him to our scout day at a local state park. I can't seem to get any of the other parents interested, but I am. He will get his Indian Heritage Award if he goes and does all the things

Did you guys invest in a brag vest or are ya'll doing the extra patches and what not differently?.

No, the Wheel of Fortune thing. A quick Google search for "Wheel of Fortune College Edition" should have it at the top of the page.

I didn't think that'd be major enough to be a "what happened" to handle. I knew how to pronounce his name even before my strong classical education in high school and college, so I don't feel he's at all representative.

Looks like he had multiple stumbles due to nerves but ultimately came out on top. I feel worse for the woman who was ruled against for dropping the g on an -ing word.
