Maybe we’ve been here before.. A strange moment in parenting

I have a giant electric mural of New York City. I purchased it in 2001 from Spencer Gifts, prior to the World Trade Center attacks and back when Spencers was actually in my local mall (with lots of other stores that are now closed), so the twin towers still proudly lurk in the background..

I recently found the plug to the photo and turned it on tonight for my son to see..
Ayden Morris looked at it, as a 2 and a half year old would.. He gazed at it for a bit, and said in his half-toddler-talk, ‘No planes in that house,’ the pointed to the walls that surrounded us, and said ‘I live in this house.’
I would be remiss if I did not document this for the purpose of my own memory and the fact it was beyond eerie, and beyond strange.

BUT!!!

This weird potential past life regression is explainable I believe–with  logic and patience I have successful cracked the mystery. Only a few minutes prior to this moment when Ayden made a strange reference to airplanes, I was explaining airplanes to my son and mentioned something to the effect that they fly high in the sky because if they didn’t, they would hit into houses. So, as child sponge would, he absorbed that knowledge and kept it. I think.
Maybe.

I think I’ll just go with that. If not I’d be driven crazy by the possibilities of reincarnation ..
With my explanation, I can sleep soundly.

I think.

A new species was discovered and named by the Smithsonian today, and my first thought was that it was a headline from the Onion

Seriously .. The Smithsonian announced a new species called and described it as cross between house cat and teddy bear…

It is also a carnivore and the first new species of carnivore found in the Western Hemisphere in over three decades

The name doesn’t signify any cute qualities, and despite the fact it looks like a teddy bear may know melt people’s hearts, it is advised to not buy one from your local street vendor.. Especially at Christmas. And don’t feed it after midnight.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN

I woke up in the middle of the night.. craving water and a chocolate chip cookie. So I had to raid my son’s drawer for that.. Before trying to cure insomnia with sugar, I checked the temperature gauge: 45 degrees. In August. The dog days that aren’t…instead you best get one of those tacky sweater vests for your dog this week..
Now to the news.

Cold now.. but..

Watching the Gulf: A storm system may strike right near New Orleans or directly on it.. how strong will it get before hitting? It’s in the western Caribbean now. From there a number of possibilities exist.. Henry Margusity wrote on his Facebook page today, “The danger with the system in the Gulf this weekend will be the sudden intensification within a few hundred miles of the coast.”

Accuweather issues winter hints: Autumn 2013 will be a slow transition to cold for the Northeast but quick for the Midwest.. But if you make it through November in the Midwest, Accuweather says it all gets warm from there..

Federal government closes 600 weather stations.. And we still rely on them for accurate forecasts?


Obamascare: Now word comes that ‘forced’ home inspections may be the near future norm! The actual website from HHS states that “high risk” homes will be targeted for government visits .. For example: Tobacco users, families who had a member FORMERLY in the armed services.. children with disabilities.. And it’s ALL NOT GOING TO BE VOLUNTARY

Google has been forced to admit everything that people already know.. You just cannot expect privacy on their email system.. A lawsuit says the company violates the law when it scans users’ emails..



Remember that video of the Naples Florida pool UFO? It has been solved by MUFON. And it’s not an alien.








ALL THUMBS: Megan Fox recruited by Avon to be the new face of the company. Hopefully there will not be a need for hand modeling..
