What is this TRTTH? Is it some kind of biochemistry term?

Noo, he put it in his back pocket and, of course, it fell out. And after a large argument that ended with him locking himself away in his room, my dad crept out to the car (where my brother -thought- he lost the money) and took 40 bucks out of his own wallet and put it on the ground for my brother to find the next day. Of course, my brother thought the money was the original lost money, but it was just a father being loving to his son, I guess. Kingsean12 wrote: What is this TRTTH?

So, this story is why I don't really like having to deal with small children.
At work today, I was shelving when a young boy(he looked to be 3 or 4, maybe a small 5) waved me over. He had a few children's comic books(not graphic novels, the cheap, thin, short issues...archie, batman, simpsons, etc) spread out on the table in front of him. I asked him what he needed help with, and he said he wanted to find a book. Now, we were on the other side of the library from the children's area, but I thought maybe I could get an idea of what he wanted before we went anywhere. So I looked at the top comic he had, and it was spider man, so I asked if he wanted a spider man book. He said no. So then I asked him what kind of book he wanted, and he just kind of stared at me blankly. So then I asked what books he usually reads, and he said that he read little bear, and "the robot book." So I asked him if he read transformers, and he said no. Then I asked what kind of a book he wanted, and he said he wanted to read a book about "this" and he opened a batman comic and pointed...well, to batgirl, but I doubt that was what he actually meant. So I said, "You want a book about batman?" and he said no. >_>
At this point, I figured I might have better luck if a parent was there to help. So I asked him if his mom or dad was there with him, and he shook his head. So I asked who brought him to the library, and he said his grandparents brought him. So I looked around, and saw a disturbing lack of older black people(yes, I know he could have been adopted, interracial, a step-child, etc...) so, a bit worried, I asked them where they were, and he said "at home." So then I was really worried, because this was a little kid, and I asked him if he was here alone. And he said no, he was here with his mom. At which point I completely facepalmed, because seriously. And then his mom came over and said it was time to go, and he wandered off, and I was just left there...completely confused...and that is why I can't communicate or otherwise deal with small children. They make no sense.

Since he wasn't in the children's section of the library, he clearly was looking for a book he doesn't normally read.
His pointing to the Batgirl character could mean he's looking for a book with Batgirl in it.
Personally, I believe he's looking for a book on girls who wear tight flashy clothes. He should be directed to a web page containing information on the area's local comic book conventions.
That should more than solve the issue......
:p

Had a very vivid, very long dream. Basically it was a first person perspective, from my point of view, you know? Me, looking through my own eyes. Anyways, I was going on this extremely long journey to...somewhere. Everyone I met ended up dying somehow, usually by murder by my own hands.
A lot of times those victims would be boys who approach me thinking I'm cute.
(-_- What if this means something?) My alarm clock went off (supposedly) at 1 in the morning, but I just laid there thinking it was 5 in the morning (when my alarm clock is actually set to) and how I didn't want to get up. Eventually I turned it off after discovering the truth and fell straight back into my dream again.
The dream was gorier this time, very unpleasant. Some of the deaths, were even accidental. Ugh. I don't even think I should describe them. It's disturbing.

I dreamed that I was sitting at my desk, staring at a blank computer screen, slowly peeling leaves off of a head of lettuce and eating them raw.
Nothing but lettuce.
For hours.
It was weird.

In reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
