It's been a while since I read that one, and sometimes I forget my children's names. It's probably hilarious to hear me try to talk about my favorite anime shows when I haven't seen them in a couple of months. *sigh* Now how do you pronounce it? War priest. Booyah! I can rock that.

And since I'm about to leave and you'll be in charge of my children, I'm rather concerned that you just noticed that they were missing. Husband: I'm working. Jared's in charge. [I look at Jared. He's licking his fidget spinner; he notices me watching him and laughs. I'm not sure I'm leaving the house again until my youngest children don't need supervision anymore.] Seriously, calling them "littles"? Also, @Kobold King, why were you licking a fidget spinner? That's weird. And gross. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsentKeeper he/him Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Haha this thread is great. My grandmother was the one who showed me the Shard, she just lurks here though, so I don't have to worry about embarrassing nonsense She's too busy posting ridiculous theories in the Dresden Files subreddit on the other side of the interwebs.

It's a hell of a story in any case. I was in high school when the musical made it big. I've seen it three times, and it blows me away each time. We performed a medley of songs from it the same year Tienanmen Square happened and let me tell you, that felt kinda spooky... Um. I thought Tiananmen Square happened in like the 80s or so? oh wait you said musical not movie. This is not my historical strong point.

Tienanmen Square massacre occurred in June of 1989, I'd just finished my freshman year in high school. The musical came out in...late 1987 I think? I've been there since then. Most Chinese don't know what happened that day, it was and still is pretty well suppressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest to goodness, this is the first time I've ever heard of a Les Mis musical. Now you've made me feel like I'm missing out. We read Hunchback instead of Les Mis in high school. I hope I can gather up the attention span to read it this year. I've started it, and I find it enjoyable but hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anarkitty she/her Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Me: [to husband, who whispered something across the room] I don't even know what that is. Husband: I don't either actually. Don't look it up! Me: Incognito mode... Husband: Yeah, don't want that showing up in ads! Me: Oh, my. Oh, my!

Yeah, whatever floats your boat...and makes you not drown. ---------- KK: Hey, where's my donut? I didn't have my donut! Me: [calming tone] They're in the fridge. KK: Okay. In this house, you have to check. Me: In this house, YOU are the one most likely to eat someone else's donut! KK: [laughing] Okay, well...

Anarkitty she/her Posted December 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Me: [looking at recipes online] Oooh. I want this. KK: What is it? Me: Chicken in mustard cream sauce. It has heavy cream, wine, and butter. KK: Those are some of your favorite things. Me: I KNOW! Right?! ---------- Kobold Princess: [age 6, looking at a book] This little girl is a smart patootie. [pause] Well, she is a little violent... The book is Hansel and Gretel. According to my daughter, Gretel is "a little violent" when she pushes a witch into a stove. She may watch too much anime. ---------- KK: When I was young, I got the Iraqis and the Iroquois confused. I also thought Al Capone was a middle-eastern terrorist. He also invented a character named Sheriff Marshall, and he didn't get it. And for a brief time, he thought Canada won the Civil War. ---------- Kobold Father: You WILL give me a hug before I leave... KK: [sighing] Okay. KF: ...NOT just allow me to hug you. KK: Dang it! ---------- Kobold Minion 2: [age 13, ALMOST 14] Hey, they're making a live action Tick. Me: A second one. One came out years ago, but Jared decided that y'all couldn't watch it. He got up and turned it off. KK: Yeah, I've always been more strict about stuff like that... Me: [shame-faced] ...than me, since I let you watch Fight Club when you were pretty young. KK: I'd like to watch that again, actually. Me: Okay, we can do that while the others are gone. I think [KM2] is old enough to see it now. KK: [just looks at me] Me: What?! ---------- KK: [after doing something foolish] You knew that was going to happen, didn't you? Me: Yep. KK: You could have said something. Me: You don't like it when I mother you. KK: Seriously? Me: Hey, I'm just giving you what you want... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
