[mrstotten]

I'm having the crappiest of crappy weeks. I am behind on EVERYTHING, but on the plus side I have just put the finishing touches on an overdue essay and am getting ready to hit the SEND button yayayaya

Stolen from rebekahfair cos I could use some light-hearted conversation.

What was your first impression of me?

And

Has that changed at all?

Now for something that cheered me up immensely some conversations with my wee man this week.

On listening to the song God vs Satan by Biffy Clyro

Robert : "Mum is Satan the Devil?"
Me : "Yes sweetie"
Robert : "Why is God reversing Satan?"
Me : *confused* "Huh? oh no sweetie it is versus it means God's against Satan"
Robert : Why is god against the Devil, tell me the story"
Me : Goes into a long in depth family friendly story of the war and fallen angels
Robert : "So God threw Satan out of heaven for being naughty?"
Me : "Well pretty much Hon."
Robert : "But how was he naughty?"
Me : *Gets ready to break down pride, wars and original sin to a 4 year olds level*
Robert : "Did he smash all Gods windows?"

On watching The Sorcerers Apprentice at the cinema

Me : Actually enjoying watching Nic Cage as a medieval sorcerer
Robert : In a loud and indignant voice "That's not Merlin, he's really old!! Merlin isnt old he little and has big ears.... like me" (should mention that he watches the BBC's version of merlin with me)
Me : no you're right sweetie this is a story about Merlin when he is old.
Robert : "Oh", (still loud) "Where's Arthur then?"
Me : "Arthur's not in this film hon"
Robert : "But Arthur is always with Merlin"
Me : "Not in this story hon." sighs with relief as silence reigns for 30 mins
Robert : Mum?
Me : What hon
Robert : "When is sorcerer Mickey coming on?"
Me : "Oh no this isn't Fantasia honey, Mickey isn't in this."
Robert "At all?" *glares at screen*
Me : "Nope just those sorcerers"
Robert Kicks feet through rest of the movie and leaves proclaiming that it was "all right" despite having no Sorcerer Mickey, the WRONG Merlin and no Arthur or Excalibur and a funny looking dragon.

Wee Robert is a little god. A Godlet! Tell him Aunty Verity misses him and give him cuddles from me.

Has that changed at all: Nope, only that I love you more now!

Your kid is fucking hysterical.

What was your first impression of me?

I don't remember you. Who are you?

Has that changed at all?

Well, I still don't know who you are, so no.

[goodbyebird]

Does this mean I can have you back?? *rejoices with internets*

Props for taking the kid to see The Sorcerers Apprentice, and clearly he was upset at the film for breaking up his Merlin otp :P

And now that you're back you can also fulfill your obligations per the icon meme you yourself invented. *nodnod*

ROTFL! I LOVE your son! You can't beat child's logic. "Arthur is always with Merlin", Yes!

[autumn-lilacs.livejournal.com]

YAY! You got it done!! \m/

What was your first impression of me?

Hmm...this person is volunteering to beta my fic. Either a). she has me confused with some other writer or b). she's crazy.

Has that changed at all?

Nope. :P

You gotta love kids and their logic haven't you? I have some very similar conversations with both of mine, usually on the way to school when we're rushing because we're late lol!

First impression of you? Somebody I wanted to get to know better because you seemed so awesome.

Has that changed? Yes, now I know you're awesome:P

[veritas-st.livejournal.com]
