Two more things
That entry was epic-ly long, but I forgot two things:
1. When went to the craft fair, I was originally planning to buy a small robot doll (http://robertrogalski.com/) from a fellow artist (but he ended up not being at the fair due to a miscommunication between us). He also asks for parts periodically, so I thought it would be fun to invite Alice down into the basement to look for parts and to join me in buying the doll. Wrong move. I couldn't backpedal enough to ever dig out. She thought we were going to buy a real robot and now thinks that there are robot parts in the basement that are alive and she believes evil robots are waiting down there to get her no matter what I say to the contrary.
2. This hilarious conversation happened:
Al: Babies drink milk bottles! And from nipples! And cats eat cat food!
Me: What do birds eat?
Al: Worms!
Me: Very good! And what do children eat?
Al: Food!
Me: Yes. And what do grown-ups eat?
Al: Beer!
