ewein2412okay, all you Fullmetal Alchemist addicts, my children are now out on the patio trying to fill a transmutation circle with bugs. They're sitting crosslegged, facing each other over their chalk drawing.
Mark: NO, SARA, if you do that all the bugs will come!
Sara: It's okay, Mark, we can easily make them go away again. All right, are you ready? Three. Two. One.
In unison--excuse me, WHEN EXACTLY DID THEY PRACTICE THIS?--they clap their hands and slap them down into the circle.
Mummy: Oh, thank goodness, it didn't work. Maybe you didn't draw your transmutation circle properly. Get on with it, I have to go unpack the groceries.
EEYAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Meanwhile, Tim is away on his office summer outing, giving joyrides to all his workmates in a Beechcraft Sundowner (whatever that is) which he flew for the first time this morning.
EEYAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
It is sometimes scary being married to Tim. Has anyone out there read The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger? It is like that, sometimes. You don't know where he's going and you don't know when he'll be back and you hope he's safe.

Not that we really believed we'd succeed, being worldy in the sixth grade, but we didn't always manage to stop our falls.)
