I was reflecting yesterday that if our family ever had hidden cameras everywhere and the footage of them was professionally edited, the resulting reality TV would probably be something along the lines of a humorous version of dark mirror.
Quite seriously, some of the jokes my wife comes up with are probably confession worthy. Still hilarious, but dark doesn’t begin to cover it.
And the kids are sometimes worse. The 3 year old was discussing with the 8 year old a topic I blogged about here before. See if you can figure out what she was referring to.
3yo: Excitedly “… and he didn’t have a face or even a body left. He ate it all…”
8yo: “… What? Like no legs or arms?”
3yo: “Yeth! (She has a little lisp) He was like an among us!” Smiling proudly at having had her elder sister grasp the deeply philosophical implications.
Me: (looking at the wife) Did you hear that?
Wife: Caught the tail end… are they talking about…
Me: Yes, the second dead mouse they found as an offering from the cats.
Wife: Ah. (Stirs scrambled eggs unperturbed)
Me: (To myself silently) I suppose if the Apocalypse does happen, they’ll be well adjusted for it.
