My iPod died today.
I'm... at a loss for words.

What dinner with Wolfboy was like tonight:
Wolfboy:Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Animal Planet said blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah do you know what the most venomous snake in the world is?
Me: Uh... what? Come again?
Wolfboy: blah blah blah blah blah blah the king cobra is the second most venomous blah blah blah blah but to you know what the MOST venomous is?
MOBB: Uh... isn't it in Australia or something? Or... no wait, the black something. The black... mambo?
Me: That's a dance. You mean... the black mamba?
Wolfboy: The BLACK MAMA?
MOBB: Ha!
Me: There's a malt liquor called Black Mamba. Larry used to have a tech at the shop who'd finish his shift on Friday evenings and tell me he was going to go out and get "mamba-fied."
Wolfboy: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Do you know what the smartest ape is?
MOBB: Uh... humans?
Wolfboy: No, it's a chimp. Do you know how to tell the difference between a boy orangutan and a girl orangutan?
Me: Uh... I'd rather not answer that right now.
Wolfboy: It's the face! blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

[on the way home]
Wolfboy: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah did you know that they changed the name of the state of Australia?
Me [softly, to MOBB]: We've been through this one... I'm warning you to do your best to stay out of it.
MOBB: What?
Wolfboy: They changed the name of the state of Australia to OCEANIA.
Me: Hoo boy.
Wolfboy: See, it was the name of the continent AND the name of the state. People got tired of being asked, "Where do you live?" and answering, "Australia" and people would say, "The continent or the state?"
MOBB: Uh...
Wolfboy: How ANNOYING! blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah saaaaay... look at the moon!

I just read an entire book to the boy about snakes. With pictures of snakes laying eggs, snakes hatching from eggs, snakes eating small rodents whole. Fun life we lead, eh?
Yes! Yes it is!
I'm surprised my kid stopped to BREATHE during his two-hour lecture tonight.
From Nadine, who, because she currently lives in some country that probably actually has cobras, cannot access my blog (I email it to her):
Sadly, I never grew out of that stage of life. People are always baffled by how full I am of random information about things nobody cares about. Some of it comes from reading science magazines, some from books, some from women's magazines, some from Animal Planet, but honestly the bulk of it is the random crap I learned in elementary school that I found interesting enough to retain.
On another topic...did you do your burpees? Or did you wimp out on me because of sausage and cobbler? The challenge is still on...you've got a burpee workout comin', even if I have to come up there and watch you do every dang one.
So, what you are saying is that Wolfboy is The Little One's long lost brother...
