<Saturday, May 22nd, 2010> [Vincent] Life and death There's a scene in Short Circuit, the goofy 80s movie, where the robot that has just come to life, lands on a grasshopper. He tells the human to reassemble the grasshopper, and then flips out when she says she can't -- that the grasshopper is dead. We may have had one of those moments today with Tori. When Amy dropped the girls at grandma's (which involves walking down the street), she noticed two pieces of a yard long snake in the road. The girls didn't notice it at that point, but later in the evening when we stopped at a neighbor's house to walk their dog, we found Tori in the road with a roll of tape. She had tried to reassemble the snake with scotch tape. This was cute as can be, but we were of course horrified by her touching a dead animal. I went to find a shovel, and when I came back, Tori had returned from washing her hands with a sign written on a note card. I'm not exactly sure what it said, but I'll find out. .:.
