There are not many activities that we can do with both children at the same time When we try we tend to have to do two versions of the activity – Earth version and Alien version. It’s very confusing as we rarely understand the alien version of the activity and the R.A. just ends up tremendously frustrated with our stupidity. He does a lot of sighing with us. Therefore, we usually end up doing something with my daughter and then something with my son. On Friday afternoon I was working on a puzzle with my daughter. We were working on our overly comfortable hard wood floor. The R.A. demonstrated his interest or probably more his resentment at being ignored by constantly walking through our work area. We are well trained and just worked around him. He finally became bored and wandered to a nearby area of the living room.
The puzzle was a more challenging one and my daughter and I were quite engrossed in the task. When I shifted my body to try to get more comfortable, well just plain comfortable, I noticed what the R.A. had been up to.
Now we’ve all heard the theories about crop circles, most notably that aliens are responsible for them (that and two guys from Northern England called Gar and Alan). Although I am currently a host to an alien, I’m not sure that aliens are designing perfect circles as a means of communicating with Earthlings. I mean if they are that advanced a species surely they could manage Facebook. Especially since they know how clueless human beings are.
But Friday afternoon my opinion was challenged. The R.A., using a bag of Dum Dum lollipops (or yawyee posh as he calls them,) was creating intricate designs on the floor. It must have been a practice exercise for creating those circles. I must say I was impressed.
I think it translates into:
These dopes make morons look intelligent. I say the invasion is on.
It looked beautiful, but don’t forget about the “Sodor Halo”. The time Declan surrounded his pillow with a semi-circle of three layers of Thomas the Tank Engine and friends. That was a sight to see.
