Ever since the tornado warning a couple of weeks ago, my 5-year old has been obsessed with three things: tornadoes, nukes, and heaven.
He's a bit of a space nerd, so he was telling me the other day how the impact radius of a nuke is 13km and how that is larger than some of the asteroids that are only 4-5km wide.
Then he started going on about heaven for a couple of days. His first question was if he could play Minecraft and Roblox in heaven. I told him I was not sure. Next question was if they have tablets in heaven and I told him no, that they would not have tablets there. I thought it was funny and cute.
Fast forward to today and I'm working on my laptop and he's still sitting at the table eating dinner with my older son and my wife. All of a sudden he asked her: "If I'm holding something in my hand when it's time to go to heaven, will I be able to take it with me?"
I was just fighting back the laughter since I suspected where this was going.
My wife asked: "What are you trying to take?"
And, of course, he goes (dead serious): "My tablet."
Then I just broke out in full laughter. I was just crying from laughing so hard.

Or that in heaven we are wi-fi enabled so we don't even need a tablet...
When I was managing the factory, I had a dial card I had to shove in every time that I needed to check email or anything. I had to hear that dial up sound way too much.
As much as you all might not like it, I'm going to attempt to be a more regular contributor too.
An Easter Sunday text from DD in re eggs, candy, etc. and their 4-yr-old son: he asked if we could call Peter Cottontail and tell him thank you. We must be doing something right as parents.
Went outside to start the day, it’s misting. Kinda changes the old plans of outside repair day.
I know a bearded guy and a bunch of cats who are gonna be jealous..........
Is your daughter graduating this year? My son is. My wife officially gave me a honey-do list for the graduation party in June. I will be able to get it all accomplished by September.
@VeloClone - You are correct. September is optimistic. Is your daughter enjoying in-school learning at the high school?
Here is what has happened in my life recently.
We went on our Spring Break trip to the DR with my son, 3 of his friends, and their families. It was a blast. Delta airlines and the resort were very careful about Covid. It seems that they were way safer than the people that went to other destinations. My son and his friends got to be good friends with some kids from Germany. They have Facetimed multiple times since the trip. At one point, they played beach volleyball while 4 different languages were being spoken. He said his favorite thing that took place on the trip was trash-talking in Spanish with the kids from the DR.
I am looking for a new job. I have a 3rd interview with a company on Monday so I am hoping to have new employment soon. Wish me luck.
My youngest daughter got her permit. Since she didn't get any time on the simulator, I've discovered that the simulator does actually help. She has a problem remembering to use her blinkers. Otherwise, she's doing well.
My wife is on a girls trip this weekend. I assume she packed a fluffy pillow for the pillow fights.
I am getting my Covid shot today.
My oldest daughter is staying in Iowa for the summer. Selfishly, I want her home but I guess I get it.

Yes she is, and like a good parent she will be attending the correct university. We just got the new carpet in, you know, so it rains and they will track mud all over it. There isn’t much to do, we have the plan from the sons. With the extra garage stall, the clean out will be easier there.
I HATED that noiser.
I DESPISED that noise.
However...you always knew when your kids were trying to sneak in unauthorized screen time!
