Me: "Sounds scary."
Talia: "Yeah. But I had my stuffed animals. They were a shield around
my body. And a mask. And my stuffed animals were made out of metal.
And they had missiles in them. With fire in them. And I had a sword.
And a shield."

Earlier this morning, immediately after I had drunk a cup of coffee...

Talia: Daddy, why do you always smell horrible? 
Heather: Look, you've hurt Daddy's feelings.
Talia: Well, I don't think Daddy always smells horrible. Zeke thinks Daddy always smells horrible.

]]> http://files.posterous.com/user_profile_pics/261/cartoon_scowl.jpg http://posterous.com/users/32Ov5iLi Nathan Rein nathan Nathan Rein - Thu, 13 Jan 2011 18:38:45 -0800 Zeke on where love comes from http://nbr.posterous.com/zeke-on-where-love-comes-from http://nbr.posterous.com/zeke-on-where-love-comes-from Tonight Zeke was asking me about the function of different organs, and then he suddenly asked, "Which part of your body is in charge of love?" I told him it was the brain. This puzzled him because he thought it was the heart, but he came up with an explanation: 
"There's a little spark inside your brain that gets thrown into your heart. It does something to your brain that's weird but real, and makes you think that your heart stores love. 'Cause that little energy ball has love in it, so actually, your heart has love in it, and it turns it a little redder, gives it more blood. So actually that's the way the brain helps the heart. When you're five it does it. It helps you learn about love, and it helps you live longer. Everybody has it."

Me: Careful, this is really hot. 
Zeke: How many degrees is it? 
Me: Four hundred.
Z.: Four hundred? Four hundred? Jeeeesus CHRIST!

I had to leave the room so he wouldn't see me cracking up.

I wonder if it would be inappropriate to give Phillip Haberkern a big
hug, as a small token of appreciation for the generosity of this
review.

Tweed jacket, check. Thirty-year-old tie, check. Shabby cords, check.
Scuffed loafers, check. Paunch and scraggly beard, check. Fatigued and
world-weary expression, check. I think I'll pass the humanities
conference uniform inspection.
