Thomas refuses to let me call him the Rev-ster.

Today, Alina said, "Pongo can lick his bottom!" to which Thomas replied, "Yes, he can because he's a cat. Can you do that?" Now, everybody reading this knows that the expected reply is no, but is this really the sort of question one wants to ask a three-year-old?

Also today, Alina found a little box in which she had imprisoned a ladybug some time ago. The poor insect has long since made its way to the happy meadow in the sky. When Alina looked at it, Thomas said, "Um, it's...sleeping." To which Alina immediately replied, "It's DEAD!"

Our cat is infested with fleas. I've had cats and dogs all my life and I had never before seen a flea. This is no longer the case.

I was helping Thomas with something, and he was disturbed to realize that I didn't know how to spell sacrament.
