Sounds like my childhood.

[ofmyderriere]

Ohhhh yeah?

[cal_sitter]

If there weren't Auphe at the window to set Cal to shrieking, there were clowns.

[ofmyderriere]

Zombies or clowns. I can see the similarity. Were there mimes?

[cal_sitter]

Zombies would have been preferable to Auphe.

Yes, there were mimes. We lived with carnivals on and off.

[ofmyderriere]

I don't know what Auphe are. What are Auphe?

My dads were not big fans. Of mimes. Or carnivals, really.

[cal_sitter]

Elves.

Lucky for you.

[ofmyderriere]

I remember reading a book where everybody thought elves were beautiful and great but whenever they came around, they just fucked everything up.

Sometimes, yeah.

[cal_sitter]

An apt summary for the world I live in.

Only sometimes?

[ofmyderriere]

Also they weren't really pretty, they just had glamours. And the queen was a raging bitch.

Yep!

[cal_sitter]

None of ours have that.

[ofmyderriere]

Well, I guess it was just a book. I don't have any of mine here, it's driving me nuts. I've started reciting things I remember to Sirja when she's awake, I don't know if she appreciates it.

Yours sound um...grosser.

[cal_sitter]

I'm sure she does. Education should begin early, with family.

They aren't anything I would tell a little girl about at bedtime, no.

[ofmyderriere]

Being able to create in your head - that's important.

I guess not.
