[QUOTE="Sialia, post: 187962, member: 1025"] Er, note, if you want to participate in Akunin's Challenge and vie for the Mystery prize, please post your submission on the Nutkinland board rather than here. The folks over there won't know to look here. Unless, of course, you want to add an image here with a link to it over there. That would be cool with me. Note, the Eric's Grandmother rule does continue to apply here, especially since I have a toddler (aka: the Scampering Chaos)who likes to log in to see Mommy's pictures on line, and frequently asks me to explain what's going on in the pictures. tSC: "Tell me the Once Upon a Time!" Me:"What?" tSC: "Tell me the Once Upon a Time!" Me: "You want me to tell you what's going on in the picture?" tSC: "Yeah!" ME: "Umm. There's this orc, and, uh, he has a pie. And, uh, there's these other guys, the Adventurers, and they don't have a pie. And they want the orc's pie. I don't know what happens after that." tSC (grapsing the crux of tha matter immediately): "But he doesn't want to share his pie!" Me: "Um. No. He doesn't. So what do you think should happen?" tSC: (silence) Me: "Maybe the Adventurers could ask nicely 'Please can we have some pie?'" tSC: (being the orc) "'No.'" Me: "Umm. They could beat him up and take his pie?" tSC:"That wouldn't be very nice." Me: "Uh, no. It wouldn't." tSC: "The pig should say 'Stop! No taking my pie!'" Me: 'Well, it would be nice if he shared his pie with everybody. Then they could all be friends. There's plenty of pie, he can't eat it all by himself." tSC: "'No. He doesn't want to share his pie." Me: (sighing) "Right. Sometimes the pie is very special and the orc doesn't have to share it. The Adventurers all go home hungry and get some flour and sugar and cherries of their own and make their own pie. And they share it with eat other and all have a good time together, and the orc sits and eats his by all by his lonesome and gets a tummyache." tSC: (satisfied) "Right. And they all live happily ever after." Me: "Right." [/QUOTE]
