Dinner Conversation At Our House, Honest And Truly

[dr_pretentious]

GARETH:
Sing twinkle twinkle quack quack quack!

ME:
Twinkle quack? I don't know that version.

GARETH:
Daddy to sing it!

DAN:
Twinkle twinkle quack quack quack
All the ducks are painted black
Even mallards, which are green
With an iridescent sheen
Twinkle twinkle quack quack quack
All the ducks are painted black

ME:
Nice! Did you come up with that one just today?

DAN:
No, it's the password of an ancient brotherhood long thought extinct that's been quietly gathering power for a thousand years.

ME:
The Rolling Stones?

I suppose the Rolling Stones *could* be painting ducks black, but since I'm the wrong gender to get invited to join ancient brotherhoods I may never know for certain.

Damn--I was going to suggest we could use that in the antho, but I don't think the Stones will sell us the rights.

I wonder if any of the cable channels are looking for a family on which to focus a reality show for the untapped geek market?

You could call it "Keeping Up With Gareth".
