some kid at the toy store last weekend was playing with a bunch of Thomas the Train toys and trying to tell me (at great length) about how coal-fired steam trains are better than diesel trains, cuz the diesel trains are mean. was preparing to blow his mind about how coal is possibly the worst most evil energy source in the world and diesel is much better fuiud but was distracted by Veronica asking me to explain a Calvin and Hobbes strip.
fucking Thomas, Thomas is a goddamn idiot is what he is

I had the same moment, with Amber, age three, the movie was "Blade Runner (director's cut)"
The opening scene is a wide vista of a city in the dark:Amber: "Wooo! Scary!"And about two minutes later she was asleep. So I had to take her up. Never did see that movie.

Overheard:
"We're going to listen to some underground music and it's going to be very loud."
I've never used the phrase "underground music" around my 5-year-old.
Update, she has amended it to "We're going to listen to What Does The Fox Say and it's going to be very loud."

re: the white room thing - it came out of the blue so I was very taken aback (was she referring to a dream? something she saw on TV? something some other kid told her?) but after talking to her about it I realized she was referring to this album cover:https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-FZ48l-hdblY%2FTaTIHHXeyJI%2FAAAAAAAAACw%2FUATJNvYxlTQ%2Fs1600%2Fthe-juan-maclean.jpg&f=1

The girls were making each other laugh in bed the other night with a series of "your butt is so big" jokes. My favourite was Lulu's "If you were in orbit around the earth your butt would still reach down into the inner core." They laughed for a long, long time about that one - I could hear Ava trying to ask "but how would you even... it doesn't make any..." I really want them to go to sleep in my flat once I've tucked them in on the sofa bed and give me just maybe an hour's peace watching something on the laptop or reading, but I'd rather have a laughfest than nightmares.
Apparently, at school, kids have started calling each other "wasteman". This made me chuckle. First appearance on ILX was on the rap/grime threads in 2005-06, and then it starts to appear in football discussions around 2012-13. Now in primary schools. Marvellous.

My littlest kid keeps making up pretend mud puddles on all the places in our house where the rugs transfer to flooring and then back again. She nobly spreads her jacket over the mud puddle and then looks at me and says "May I ask...?" and I am supposed to daintily walk across and be polite and thankful when I get to the other side. Who says chivalry is dead?
