WK on Schizophrenia

November 28, 2010
5:15 PM

Wife:  Both of you are tired, so no talking after bed tonight.

Me:  You know the Shard in London?

WK:  Yeah.

Me:  It's now the tallest building in London.

Me:  No.

WK:  So, I look down on it.

WK:  Daddy, how big is a Bunkey?

Me:  I don't know what a Bunkey is.

Me:  There's no such thing.

WK:  Ah, but there is such a thing as a Munny.  That's why you have a job.

WK on Marine Engineering

November 19, 2010
6:15 AM

WK:  When I'm big, I will build a bridge that goes all around England, then over to Japan, then finally to Ireland.

Me:  Japan is far away, with oceans in between.

WK:  So?  I will drain the ocean and lay down my road.  I will put all the fish in a big tank until the road is done.

Me:  You sure you can do that?

WK:  Stop worrying.  I won't drain ponds or lakes where rabbits and baby deer drink.  I will only drain the ocean.  Animals can't drink salt water, because if they do, a big white shark will eat them.

Wife:  I'm your Mother!

WK:  But you never sit down with the family, you get up all the time.  I think you are my servant.

Wife:  I gave birth to you.

WK:  Oh, I forgot about that.

WK:  Those French.  They're like super-nice.

Me:  Why?

Me:  True.

WK:  Could the Charles we have now move to France if the Queen gets her head chopped off?

LF:  I want you to be in a lot of pain.

WK:  It's not as fierce as LF.

October 25, 2010

WK:  Can you see another planet in detail from here?

Me:  To see details, you would need a telescope.

WK:  Through the clouds, with magic?

Me:  Usually you would go in the desert or mountains where there are fewer clouds.
