    This morning, my neighbor woke us with the news that all the dogs and cats in the neighborhood were poisoned last night. Her dog Sophie and her two cats Max and Lily (Lily missing, presumed dead), and our cat Saen. We found a plastic bag in the common lawn with remnants of chicken and rat poison.

    Had to break the news to Becca. That was tough.

    This is something like the seventh time in the nine years I’ve been living here that some scumbag has murdered all the neighborhood animals, the second time Becca has gone through it. Previous casualties include our dogs Cookie, Tiny (while I was away in NY), and little Duk-Dik.

    Just gotta hope that there’s enough karma in the universe so that this crime doesn’t go unpunished.

    Another GYHTBT: Benjamin asks me for a taste of my soda. I say sure, but he pushes a bit further: “OK if I fimish (sic)?”

    So cute!

    Today, Becca asked me if she could change the DVD to watch something else. Star Trek-TNG, as it turns out, a particular point of pride on which I will almost certainly elaborate at some point in another post.

    I was a bit too slow to respond, so she slipped into a facetious supplicant mode, pretending I was a king.

    “Please, may I watch Star Trek, your Royal Minus?”

    An honest mistake, right? Yeah, sure it was.

    Benjamin doesn’t quite get verb conjugation. When reminded of something that he seems to have neglected, he often responds “Oh, sorry. I forget it.”

    Very cute, but GYHTBT.
