The Littlest Existentialist
Much vacation- and Mermaid-Girl-related posting to catch up on. But first, a brief word from our sponsor, who this week is apparently Jean-Paul Sartre:
Mermaid Girl, *weeping*: Camille took down my special boxes and opened them up! Even though I told her not to!
Camille's Mom: Camille, your friend Mermaid Girl is saying something that you need to listen to.
MG: Camille, *sniff! sniff!* I don't like that you took down my *sniff!* special boxes.
Camille, *calm and slightly condescending*: Well, MG, one day we'll all be gone, and your special boxes won't be here, so why do you care?
MG, Me, and Camille's Mom: ?!?

Hell is other children. ;-)
Oh. my.
I laughed so hard it hurt.
That's far too deep for a simple woman like myself!
Zoicks!
Nice try, Camille.
Out of the mouths of babes...
Superawesome genius philosopher! I'll send her my spare copy of marcus aurelius!
She's a stoic not an existentialist!
"Curse your slippery slide fallacy! Sophistry won't soothe my hurt feelings!"
(...or, er, make that a *slope*.)
Wow. Just. . .wow. I have one like that. He still wears black but at least now he's old enough to fit the existentialist angst ticket.
I love what Mrs. Coulter wrote! haha! How true.
What do you say in a situation like that?
