Background is necessary. In one episode of Dora the Explorer (that's a children
s TV show), Dora finds a dinosaur egg which hatches. They help the baby dino get back home, all the while singing the Baby Dino song. With verses like:
Who's got the biggest footsteps around?
BABY DINO!
Unfortunately this song is strangely catchy. So we find ourselves singing it. And we screw with the words.
Who's got the rottenest liver around?
BABY WINO!
Who's got the smallest tax-cuts around?
BABY RINO!
I was particularly pleased with that one. But Kaija was upset by it, and wanted to know what I was talking about. Explaining Republican In Name Only seemed beyond the scope of the situation, so I started on taxes.
"See, taxes are when the government steals your money. So tax cuts are when they steal less of your money, so the cuts are good."
She frowned thoughtfully.
"Government bad. Taxes bad."
And in that moment I knew I was going to Hell.
Fucking mouse.
Lame cat who won't catch the mouse, even when the mouse is pointed out to said cat with a flashlight.
Fucking mouse running around my desk, on the floor and on top of the desk too.
This is a big flashlight.
Hmmmmmmm...

One dead mouse.
