Smacksy Sunday Links

Fascinating excerpts from James Mollison's photography book, Where Children Sleep. (Scroll to the bottom of the article and find the slide show.)

You know I love me a good dog video. This is :14 seconds of goodness.

And from Listen To Your Mother LA, "Cheese" by Cheryl Rosenberg.

Happy Sunday.

Smacksy Saturday Photo: Retro Bob

Those cheeks. I mean, come on.

Shoppers

"So, Bob? I asked at the Lego store and that scary Halloween set isn't in yet. They're not sure when it will be in."

"That's okay, Dad. I'm not worried."

"Good."

"It doesn't matter if the store has it yet because I know they'll sell it to Santa."

Scented

"Mom? You smell bath-ful."

"What's that?"

"Like baths."

"So, that's a good thing?"

"It's way better than bath-less."

Rounds

"What's over there, Mom?"

"You mean the tomatoes?"

"Yeah, but what are the other ones?"

"Looks like... plums."

"I know why Daddy put those together."

"Why is that?"

"I think because he's really into eating things that are circles all together on the same plate."

"That's possible."

"But the plate's not a circle so I'll think about it some more and get back to you."

It Was a Monday

"Mom? Why did you stop? Why are you talking to that policeman?"

"He pulled us over for having expired registration."

"Why is it expired?"

"Because our fifteen year-old car wouldn't pass a smog check so we had a new catalytic converter put in but then it still wouldn't pass a smog check because we have to drive the car ninety miles to re-set the computer and apparently we've only driven about forty miles so far and I couldn't tell because our odometer doesn't work and also I didn't have our updated insurance in the car and mommy was irresponsible and didn't start this process three months ago when she should have."

"Mom? You have something in your nose."

"Nice. Thanks for telling me, Bob."

"Mom? Where did you put it?"

"Put what?"

"The thing you just took out of your nose?"

Day Tripping

"We've been driving a long time, Dad."

"It's only been about eight minutes."

"Are we closer to our house or Lego Land, right now?"

"Right now we're closer to the house."

"How about now?"

"It's going to take a couple of hours, Bob."

"Dad? Now are we closer to Lego Land than the house?"

"No, but we're pointed in the right direction."

"You should hurry, Dad. All the Legos are waiting for us."
