I was hoping the science aspect of my latest planet discoveries would catch on in the news and popular science magazines. And the science did pretty much stand on its own and and got some good play. But it turns out I also had a lowest-common-denominator aspect built into the press release. One of the planets is named 24 Sex c. Hehe. It's one Sex c planet (cue slide whistle).
me: "owen, come here. it's time to get a new diaper" him, sprinting down the hall with no pants on: "forget about it!" he's quoting benny the rabbit, a short-lived sesame street character who happens to be in his favorite "count with me" video. i'm turning my head, trying not to let him see me laugh, because his use and tone with the phrase are so spot-on.
