I'm at home right now, waiting for a furniture delivery. I'd wager a significant amount of pocket money on the delivery not coming today; the company already botched its first try and seems rather disorganized and indifferent to actually doing their bit. But I'm taking advantage of the home time to handle my work email, so I should be able to head to the office later with a clean e-slate.
Fascinating, I know.
More entertaining by far is how Julia and Genevieve are playing behind me. Riffing on this "LEGO Nativity" video on YouTube - which Julia watches almost every evening in lieu of reading a book - they are pretending to be Mary (Julia) and Jesus (Genevieve), and building a big "staple at the inn" out of (aptly) LEGOs.
Being in charge, Mary is constantly saying things like, "Jesus, can you hand me the yellow brick? THAT will be the star!" All this talk, and Jesus' murmuring to himself, is being conducted in the sweetest way, with nothing but cooperation and fun, but my brain keeps remixing Julia's statements so that the "Jesus" part of each line is actually a curse. "Jesus, wouldja hand me that blue one!"
