Winner on Who Would Win a Staring Contest?

A couple of weeks ago I pitted


Speaker Nancy Pelosi
vs.
Shaq


After watching the State of the Union this morning, I think it is safe to say that Speaker Pelosi wouldn't stand a chance in a staring contest. Wow, her eyes were flickering like she was translating the speech into Morse code with her eyelids! However, Cheney didn't blink at all...further proof he's either an animated corpse or a robot.

What to Do When You See a Robot

Calvin is a sensitive boy that scares easily. JD and I have to comfort him and reassure him a lot. One evening my brain scrambled for something encouraging to say to him when I left. My mind flashed to one of his edu-video games. There's one section that has robots which you can dispense with by jumping upon them. I told Calvin goodbye and, "If you see a robot, jump on his head and squish him."

He had a big giggle.

Since then, it has become something that he says when saying goodbye...to everyone. It is very funny for us to see relatives', friends', or strangers' faces when we say goodbye and he launches into his cautionary advice on how to deal with a robot.
