this morning, while getting ready for a grocery shopping excursion, the hobbitlings debated the development of various enigmatic characters from "the lord of the rings." let it therefore be known that:
ela thinks sean bean's depiction of boromir "was handsome and beardy, but he shouted too much."
boookie delights that his parents did not name him "merry" because "it sounds like 'merry christmas' and it's still a girl's name, even though it's spelled differently. which means it's a homonym."
ela believes boookie's criticism of gollem's incessant schizophrenia is unwarranted, and she defends hotly, "gollem doesn't have a good brain, okay?!"
(i really, really like my kids.)
