Scenes From A Preschooler’s Bedtime

Posted by Doug on May 5th, 2009

Dialog, almost verbatim, from last night’s bedtime ritual:

Me: [Having just read the story of Moses getting the Ten Commandments from God] What did God tell Moses to tell the people?

Will: …

Me: He said “Do not…”?

Will: Kill!

Me: And “Do not…”

Will: …

My Wife: [Suggesting helpfully] “Do not st…”

Will: Steve!

Me: [Covering my mouth so as to obscure the smile now plastered across it] No, son, God did not tell Moses to tell the people “Do not Steve”. He said “Do not steal.”

Will: …Oh. Yes, do not steal!

I dunno, man. are you sure it’s okay to Steve.

I think we first need to define “to Steve” and then we can get a ruling as to its propriety vis a vis the Mosaic code.

I’m pretty sure it’s a sin to “Leeeeeroooyyy Jennnnkiinnnnnss!”, though.

  Bonnie Vasko has already posted a brief summary of Wednesday night’s “inaugural” Philly WordPress Meetup, so I thought I’d simply take a moment to document some of the resources we talked about in the “advanced”/developer session.
