Connor caught a fish today! TWO fish, actually! I wish they didn’t always go fishing when I was working, but I guess it’s a cool father/son thing to do, and I don’t need to be around for it all the time. Connor called me and was very concerned because one of the fish had the hook really stuck in his mouth, and he was worried that it was going to die. But then daddy fixed it, and it went back into the water, and swam away (which, in a three-year-old’s mind, means it was ok).
Random thought: why in the world do people use those ridiculous toilet seat covers when they go to the bathroom to pee? I never use them, they’re stupid. You’re sitting on the toilet for all of 30 seconds (usually), and that is just not enough time to have anything get on your butt. Plus, if there’s something ON the toilet (like a drop of pee or something), why would you just cover it up with flimsy tissue paper and then SIT ON IT anyway? Is paper impermeable to bacteria? No, it’s not. The bugs in the whatever it is that you’re covering can get through the paper. Why not just grab a small wad of toilet paper, wipe off the seat a bit, and THEN sit down? Women are so stupid. I was talking about this with Rachel the other day, and she said that it’s an overwhelming number of people actually using those things, and we’re actually the outcasts. I saw some stickers at school on one of those dispensers that said “THESE ARE MADE FROM TREES”, and apparently that’s supposed to detract people from using the things. I’m thinking of making some stickers of my own and secretly pasting them on the dispensers here. My stickers will say something like “Don’t be a dumb bimbo – skip the paper seat cover”. Or something like that, maybe a little more clever.
It’s silly to be irritated over something so irrelevant, but really – that has to be one of the worst inventions I can think of. And some paper company is making TONS of money off idiotic people that think a little piece of tissue paper is going to protect your butt from the evil bugs that lurk on the cold toilet seat (not much can actually live in a dry, cold environment, so there really aren’t a lot of bugs on the seat – I’ve checked). You know what we need? Squat toilets. Then you wouldn’t want to sit down on anything, and there’d be no need for some seat cover. Probably some evil old man would then invent “disposable floor covers” or something, and stupid careless office workers would get them to protect their shoes from evil nasty pee.
