My Son, the Philosopher King

Somehow the dinner conversation turns to death. I was trying to film Ellis doing something cute (or obnoxious, it’s a fine distinction) and Reha became a part of the shot. Naturally death comes up.

She loathes to be on camera. So she says, “Jon, please stop that. You know I don’t like to be filmed.”

“But what about that one time when Ellis was super little and I took all that footage and then once you saw it a couple years later you said how grateful you were that I took it after all?”

“Well, fine maybe if I were dying and was going to leave some last messages to the kids, you could film me, but that’s not the case right now.”

“Actually, Reha, everyone has a terminal disease. Life is a terminal disease.”

Lucas pops in with his best stoner, slightly befuddled voice:

“That’s deep, man.”

2. Gotta love the boys.  They may not say much, but when they do, it’s deep man…

3. Kelly—and the nice thing is that we are such pacifists at our house that we’d just politely shoo you out a window instead of squishing you into oblivion.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
