Never Work With Children or Animals

The dogs informed me when I got home yesterday that, because the back door is broken, devils got in and possessed the big comfy cushion on the gay couch, so they had to kill it. A lot.
They assured me that these were different devils from the ones that possessed the bean bag last week.
This morning after son (Luke, 12) had bounded out of the car, Bella (9) told me this: "Luke put Spoor (sp? some kind of choose your own adventure internet game?) on my computer and I made a world called Bellatopia and I'm the Princess-Queen of Bellatopia and it's ALWAYS my birthday even on Luke’s birthday and I made some fluffy things to live there and they're called FluffyMuffs and Cuddlepies and they're sooooooo cute and when I'm finished building Bellatopia I'm going to make a world called Lukeville and there will only be one thing living there and he will be called Numb-Nuts"
