Children are loud versions of me

A fair-sized family came into the veggie RC yesterday, and never let it be said that vegetarian children have low energy levels. Within 2 minutes they’d managed to begin disassembly of the floor. I felt a little guilty playing cop, but I think it was mostly my training in the sciences exerting its influence. For example, I had to stop one experiment when the two boys discovered a bicycle tire pump. I heard “Ok, wait a sec”, then I turned around, and (somewhat predictably), one boy had the pump raised up and ready, and the other had the hose in his mouth. It would have been fun to watch, but we’ve got too many lawyers in this city…

If it wasn’t so expensive, I think I’d enjoy law school. A lot of my programming ideas start with thinking about a particular API call and how I could use it in an interesting way. Law could be like that, with every statute being assigned a score directly related to how annoying I could be through its creative application. Maybe that’s a common thing and they actually have a course dedicated to fart law. It’s probably restricted to senior level students though.
