The Nortons

It is so strange hearing things we say reflected back at us through Tory. The strange ones we trained her on we are used to. “Where are we going?” “Planet ten!” “When are we leaving?” “Real soon!” It’s the other stuff. Things like “Well that’s just crazy talk.” Recently she started a new one, and I am not sure where it came from. So, we are eating dinner, having a new dish. Tory’s response to said dish is “Well of course ‘Ick’, Daddy!” I am apparently supposed to predict how Tory will respond to new dishes. I guess that is not terribly surprising, but Joh and I have gotten some laughs out of it. “Well of course she’s too tired, Mama.”

I guess you had to be there.

So, Stuart was not too keen on having baths. I didn’t much like him getting them, because they washed away all of the wonderful baby smell. Unfortunately, all of that baby smell seems to have worn off. Now he smells vaguely like his mother. Anyway, up until this weekend, he was none too keen on having a bath. This weekend, however, he discovered splashing. Not just a little bit, mind you. We are talking four limbs flailing. He sends water everywhere. So, it seems like we will not have to worry about him getting pissed off in the tub anymore.

Getting out of the tub is another story entirely.

Well, I didn’t, but if you set your wayback machine to 1978 you can hear how Sarah Brightman did. I just don’t know what to do with this. Disco + Dr. Who is the best I can come up with. Probably with a fair amount of cocaine. Thanks Monroe.

If that was not enough, jump ahead to 1979 and you get the pseudo live version. Not any better, but the stage show is funnier.
