    Yesterday was 10/10/10.

    Here’s the cool, mathy stuff

    Some people think that this date has special significance.  They, of course, are morons.  The special significance for my family is that it was the day where my daughter visited me while I visited Chicago.  That sounds special right?  Well she also was sick.  She also hadn’t pooped in >24 hours.

    That’s a big deal when you usually poop every 8 hours like clockwork.  Also she’s teething, and has a fever. 

    For those of you who do not have children, you may be surprised to find out that they can actually produce and maintain the exact sound frequency that will shatter your skull.  My little treasure proceeded to do that for a 3.5 hour car ride.

    Granted, I was in my own car, my wife (who deserves a solid gold statue dedicated to her love and patience) drove the car with Samantha in it.  We stopped numerous times.  The trip took about three times the normal length.  That is never a good thing.

    I don’t write this to gain pity (please send checks payable to…), nor admiration.  I also don’t write this as a form of birth control for those of you yet to make your own spawn adorable rays of sunshine.

    I write this because I came across the silver lining.  When I got home, we (me and baby-girl) looked for anything to amuse her.  Anything to make her smile.  Anything that would take the edge off an otherwise horrible no-good very-bad trip home.  And I came across this, and it made everything, well, not better, but at lease not quite so bleak.

    Enjoy.
