Owned by a 10 year old...

My little girl is over this weekend, and she got a big box of beads, string and a book about tying knots. (For making bracelets, necklaces, etc)

Well, good ole supremely intelligent IR took the book from her so he could show her "how to do it".

First, he complained that there wasn't anything in the book that actually "shows you how to tie these knots".

My daughter glanced over and pointed out the pictures that PLAINLY showed the proper way to tie them.

Well, the whole thing went something like this...


IR - "Well, ya know, there's really nothing, ya know, in here that shows you how to tie these things."

10yo - "Yes there are, right there."

IR - "hm. Well... That doesn't really show you step by step how to, ya know, do it." *major confused look*

Me - "What do you want, a video? It's a book!"

IR - "hm."

10yo - "Look, like this." *proceeds to tie the knot on the first try* "This goes over this one, and through here, then pull this one aannddd....." *knot is complete*

IR - "hm."

Me - *suppressing the hell out of major laughter*
