More things that make me smile. . .

You'd probably have to be a fellow Star Trek fan to fully appreciate these two clips. . . but here they are. Before there was any such thing as YouTube, these were filed away in my head -- and the recollection always made me smile. Both are from TNG episode Qpid.

10 Year Old Quote of the Day:

Picture this:

Brandon's Mom and Dad working together to figure out answers to the hardest homework we've seen to date. Riddle-type homophone questions that might even stump a senior well-prepped for the SAT. For example: "to destroy light beams" Answer: raze rays . . .Or: "what is a terrible container made of glass?" Answer: vile vial . . .How about "an underage digger?"

Sheesh.

Anyway, Brandon is writing away on his newest gaming guide while Karlon and I work on these things for well over a half-hour. Every now and then I hand Brandon the paper and he writes the two words - spelled out for him, letter-for-letter, even -- and gives it back. As he was handing it back to me about the fifteenth time, he says, absently (and maybe you had to be there):

"This is why I don't like hard work."
