Anna: Dad, we always see robins.

Me: Yep, I guess we see a lot of robins around here.

Anna: Rah - bins. Rah - bins. Why is it like that, dad?

Me: Like what?

Anna: Why does robins have "bins" in it?

Do this if you're in trouble. You can float for hours.

This was a monument in the park outside where we did our English camp in Berlin. The Nazis built it and it's celebrates Baal. No really. Baal. Like in the Bible. The bulls are the god and the women hold different things sacrificed to it - including, in this shot, a baby. Uh.... that's messed up, y'all.

Conversation with Anna

I showed Anna the pocket watch I had recently received.
Anna: "I don't have a watch, dad."

Me: "Maybe you can get one someday."

Anna: "Like when I'm married!"

Me: "I don't think you have to wait that long."

Anna: "I'll be a princess and you can be my prince."

Me: "I'd love to be your prince."

Anna: "Just for today. Tomorrow you can't."
