Freestyle Friday: Crust Integrity Destabilizing
at Friday, February 12, 2010
This week's Freestyle Friday is brought to you by Kenzie, my 6-year-old daughter. I told her I needed a brilliant idea for something to draw, to which she responded "A robot baking a pie. But he burn-ded it. And now he's sad. But it's OK because robots don't have stomachs so this one can just be practice," after which she hops up and starts doing the robot, beep-boop-boop noises and all. It's only because she's my daughter that I'm OK with a 6-year-old being twice as awesome as I'll ever be.
Thankfully, she approved of my interpretation of a cold, unfeeling machine's struggle with the abstract concept known as flavor that we humans take for granted.... and here's hoping the rest of you will as well. Beep-boop-boop.

I think I need to have a conversation with your daughter so she can teach me how to be so awesome.
I love how the robot is wearing an oven mitt to protect his metal claw hand from getting burn-ded.

Your daughter is ALL kinds of awesome!

That robot is totally Rosie on the 'roids.

Your kids is AWESOME.
She obviously gets it from her mom.
Cool robot though.

Ha! The apron has zeros and ones on it.

Binary apron seals the deal.

All I can do is cross my fingers and hope Henry will say remotely interesting things when he finally starts talking.

The other day my 3 year old nephew dropped the 'f' bomb.... when I asked him where he heard the word, he informed me that a ROCK had told him about it.
That's my boy. Not even a snitch at 3. This will be more difficult when I ask him who he got the weed from.
I love kids.
And I agree.... that robot needs to be a t shirt.

Irk! I hate mistyping stuff! Your girl is awesome, such imagination! Clearly she has some good genes to be such a creative person. Great robot pic too!

Why does that robot remind me of the Jetsons?
awesome.

A. Kenzie is awesome.
B. I need a binary apron!
C. How would that oven mitt deal work?

I randomly break out into the robot dance at work. Sometimes my coworkers even request it. Is that my subconscious struggle with the abstract concept known working in a cube?

What's with the profanity ladened diatribe on the apron?

If we got your daughter and my son together, with their combined robot noises they could probably take over the world.

That's awesome! I love the backstory and I'd put that picture, as a sticker, on my back window. Fantastic!

I too am curious as to what the apron says... I don't read binary very well.
But yes, your daughter is awesome.

Does the apron say "My meat is hand rubbed"?
