Tales from the cute

[zoetrope]

A friend's nephew recently had this conversation with his Dad. The kid is about four:

Dad: So, what do you want for your birthday?
Little boy: I want a Transformer... that turns into a Barbie
Dad: Er, well, you can't really get those. They usually turn into something like a car or an airplane...
Little boy:... Then I want a Barbie.
Dad: Well, you can't. You see-- Barbie's are really for girls.
Little boy:... Then I want to be a girl.

In other news, I've been having a major West Wing fest in the last few days, and a plot bunny has taken over my mind. Weir as the President, Rodney as the Chief of Staff, Zelenka as his Deputy etc etc... John as the hooker Rodney accidentally sleeps with, then tries to reform, and ends up falling in love with. *Sigh*

Ok, I want to be related to that little boy. He's either unbelievably cute, or way too smart and slightly evil for a four-year-old.

Also, if you ever write that sga plot-bunny? *will love you forever and ever*

Hee... I'll see what I can do. Though being British I doubt even unlimited watching of The West Wing will lead to me being able to write US politics with any amount of realism at all!
