Random Conversation with My Kid about Sci-Fi












A few weeks ago, Shannon and I were watching the remake of the science fiction series called V.

SPOILER ALERT –

The aliens, who keep saying that “they come in peace,” are revealed to be lizard-like beings covered with human skin. They’ve been on earth for years, plotting the demise of mankind. Weirdly, one of the reptilian aliens is revealed to be a “good guy.”

Me: “He can’t be a good guy! He’s a lizard and they are cold-blooded.”

Shan: “So are math teachers but that doesn’t mean all of them are evil!”

Random Conversation with My Kid about Chicken















Shannon and I were watching the gospel music channel and heard a great song called “Lay Em Down” by a group called NeedToBreathe.

Shannon: “They sound really good. They remind me of Kings of Leon only not ‘Sex on Fire’ and less ‘sacrifice goats to Satan.’”

Me: “Actually, I think that was chickens in that video.”

Shannon: “I wonder if Satan is like ‘gosh I have chicken too much.’”
