Lately the R.A. has become interested in creating geometrical patterns. If you recall my posting of May 22nd, he used Dum Dum lollies to design intricate patterns on the floor. I proposed that this was because he was taking a correspondence course from the home planet on making crop circles and it was a homework assignment. Lately the R.A. has been very busy laying out all his tiny vehicles, Thomas and non-Thomas. The above photos show the progression of yesterday's project which started in his room, progressed out of his room into the hallway, down the stairs and into the living room. Mainly my husband and I were thrilled he was keeping himself occupied not doing something death defying or involving emptying large containers of sticky liquids on to hardwood floors. But then I started really looking at it and thinking about it and realized it was reminding me of something. Do you recall the scene in the X-Men: Last Stand when there is mass chaos and all these cars are jammed up on the Golden Gate Bridge? That's when it hit me. The R.A. has been designing invasion models. It's coming, people. The designs are more intricate. The intergalactic phone calls are more frequent and longer. He keeps running to our living room window and peering out at the sky. I'm just hoping that when it does come he'll look at me, snort, and say, "Her a threat? Seriously? Yesterday she put my pants on backwards and didn't notice until two hours later. And it wasn't the first time." I will then be spared vaporization as the R.A. will have determined that I am already too stupid to live and if I've so far beaten the odds, who is he to intervene?
