And here we are in the dead of night, after Adam has awakened from sleep talking. I'm trying to explain to him how amazing it is that STM waited to talk until I had the recorder sorted, and Adam simply refuses to focus on the correct point.

ADAM: What are you doing so awake?
KAREN: Oh, well, I'm always like this when you're talking. But also, I had battery mishap.
ADAM: Battery mishap.
KAREN: You woke me up making little noises—
ADAM: Little noises!
KAREN: And so, I saw that the recorder wasn't on, and then when I pressed record, I saw it was because of the batteries. So then, I went running all over the flat looking for batteries—
ADAM: You ran over the flat? I mean, you went... You got out of bed?
KAREN: Oh yeah.
ADAM: Why are you talking to me with your eyes closed?
KAREN: I don't know, it feels nicer? And then I took the batteries from the remote. But you know the crazy thing?
ADAM: You can see!
KAREN: But you know the crazy thing—
ADAM: I cured you!
KAREN: You waited for me.
ADAM: Piss off.
KAREN: Usually, you do your little noises, and then you start talking.
ADAM: And did you do your hummy thing?
KAREN: ... A little.
ADAM: Young lady!
KAREN: But this is the most amazing thing, you waited! I'm almost sure you didn't talk while I was running around.
ADAM: I'm pretty sure you probably sat there going "hmmmm" again, at me, to get me to talk.
KAREN: But that's not the important part. You waited for me, that's crazy! There's something else, too, what was it?
ADAM: I know what it was!
KAREN: What?
ADAM: Go to sleep.

And then...

STM: Don't put those in my face. Get those away from my face. Get them away! Noooooo... TOES!
KAREN: ... Did you say "toes" or "toast"?
ADAM: (face buried in the pillows) Toes.
KAREN: Was someone putting their toes in your face, Baby?
ADAM: I don't know.
KAREN: You were saying, "Get those away from my face," and then you yelled "toes!"
ADAM: I gave myself a fright.
KAREN: Aw, come here. Don't be frightened.
ADAM: One minute I think I'm asleep—
KAREN: You didn't think you were asleep, you were asleep. You were not mistaken.
ADAM: You know when you dream you're falling, and you just start to hit the ground, and you brace yourself—
KAREN: Yeah, and you start awake.
ADAM: I hate that feeling, and that's what I just had, mixed with shouting.
KAREN: But, there were toes involved. Were you falling into a sea of toes?
ADAM: I can't imagine that. Can you imagine that? Dismembered toes?
KAREN: Maybe they're not dismembered. Maybe it's all people... lots of people doing handstands! Doing handstands! And so all their toes are wiggling in the air.
ADAM: If they're doing handstands and I'm falling into them, the toes are the last thing I'm worried about.

"You're one weeping snatch away from being a complete fucking bitch."

 or click here

Am I the only one who was confused on this one? Adam had to point out to me that, for this to make sense, STM must be talking to a man. Oh, okay. Now I get it.
(all sing-song) "Who's a cutie? Who's a cutie cutie cutie cutie cutie... You are! You've got your coat on, I've got the lead. Time to take the sea cucumber for a walkie. Come on, cucumber! Walkie!"
 or click here

Sea cucumbers are amazing marine animals. I went looking for a picture for you guys, and got totally paralyzed for choice, they are so varied. I finally managed to narrow it down to three. Can you imagine dragging one of these down the block on a leash?

Wow. That WOULD be tough to beat.

And then we had one of those repeats, in which STM apparently feels he didn't make himself clear the first time. Listen to this:
"Don't you dare interrupt me. You can interrupt me when I'm fucking goddamn finished!"

Stop sitting there cleaning yourself looking cute, you fucker, and KILL! KILL!! Damn it. Stupid twitchy nose little thing. Arrrgh. I have to give up this killer-training-for-gerbil thing.

And then, Adam's delightful awakening:

STM: EJACULATE!
KAREN: Do you know what you just said?
ADAM: ... Jacket?
KAREN: No. I don't think so.
ADAM: I have a horrible feeling that I saw something horrible before I woke up.
KAREN: What?
ADAM: I don't quite remember.
KAREN: Well, what you said is a word that... sounds a little bit like jacket.
ADAM: Maggot... Does it rhyme with jacket?
KAREN: No.
ADAM: Well, why don't you tell me what the word is.
KAREN: Okay...
ADAM: Are you cringing?
KAREN: Yeah.
ADAM: Aw, no. Is it that bad?
KAREN: No, I guess not. Um, I'm pretty sure you just yelled "ejaculate."
ADAM: That would make sense. I had that feeling that there was something horrible coming towards me.
KAREN: Well, does that help you remember what you actually saw?
ADAM: Probably a whole load of ejaculate.

"You know, the world will be a much better place when we get to eat vegetarians. Furthermore, you get your five-a-day with one of those."

 or click here

Just before we went to sleep, we were Skyping with my friend Jenny. Jenny, a vegetarian herself, signed off the conversation by saying, "Don't say anything mean about vegetarians tonight!" Apparently, STM doesn't take requests.
"Imay otay oingay... Oh, kids, just come out with it!"

I was impressed at Adam managing to speak pig latin in his sleep, until I realized that he had thus far said "my toe going".

We do play with Play-Doh every so often, and Adam likes to make creatures of various ilks. Here's one of his creations. This guy looks too cool to have been the victim.

For those who, like us, have a doggie with an anal-gland issue, you can begin to imagine the horror of what that would taste like.

Also, I WILL find a way to use "Moses in a mosh pit" as an exclamation today.

"That's not a goody bag! That's a fucking old shite bag. Fucking plastic toy. Oooh, balloons. You can't give that shit away without expecting a kick in the nuts, now give me a fucking goody bag and make it full of goody!"

 or click here

This was from Saturday night. Adam's daughter had gone to a birthday party that day, from which she returned with what I deemed to be a perfectly respectable goody bag. Sounds like STM didn't agree.

And after watching The X-Factor for the first time:
"You know what's so amazing about your voice? No, neither do I. I was hoping you could enlighten me, 'cause personally, I think it's shite. Fuck ooooooffff, mutha-fuckaaa!"
 or click here

For those outside the UK, The X-Factor is like American Idol, but with much more varied contestants, and way more heart. We watched it because we were staying at Adam's parents' house, and they are big fans. Unfortunately for Adam, I think I'm hooked.

ADAM: (loud smack!)
KAREN: (horrified gasp) Oh my god! Baby? What just happened?
ADAM: Where are we?!
KAREN: We're at your parents'.
ADAM: Oh, it's not a bad dream. I really am here.
KAREN: (giggles, then) Baby, what just connected with what?
ADAM: Oh, yeah, that'd be my aching hand...
KAREN: With what?
ADAM: The solid wall.
KAREN: Aww. Well, you know what, you were twitching and stuff.
ADAM: So I was just twitching and then I lashed out? Nothing else?
KAREN: No, I mean, you were talking.
ADAM: Oh!
KAREN: The last thing you said before you woke up, I think it was, (yawn) it was related to The X-Factor.
ADAM: Oh you don't be serious, please no.
KAREN: You said, "You know what's so amazing about your voice? Neither do I."
ADAM: You know you can never post that, don't you? 'Cause I don't want anybody knowing that I watch The X-Factor, okay?

Aaaaaand the reveal:


 or click here
KAREN: You also said, "the prince and the mermaid lived happily ever after. Until her brain exploded. The end."
ADAM: A twist on the... It's not a nice kind of story to tell kids.
KAREN: Wouldn't it be funny if STM came in to do reading hour in a public library?
ADAM: I did have to go to nursery to read the kids a story. Oh my God, I just remembered the story I read them. Okay, so, parents are invited to go and ready a story to their children's class at nursery. And they can come and read a book of their choice. Me being me, I wouldn't take any book. No. I brought the book about the story of the mole and the poo. It was about a mole who came out of the ground, and as he was poking his head out of the ground for the first time ever, something pooed on his head. And he had to go around to all different animals to find the different poos to work out who it was that pooed on his head. It was a great story. The kids loved it. The teacher's face was horrific. But once I started, they just couldn't stop me. Yeah... It wasn't called Who's Poo Is It Anyway... Oh! The Mole Who Knew It Was None Of His Business.
KAREN: Come on.
ADAM: Yup.
KAREN: It's a book?
ADAM: Yup. Soon to be a film, I'm sure. And so, he went to visit all the animals, and as he was exploring the poos there were sound effects to go with each.
KAREN: Like SPLAT?
ADAM: There was lots of splats or if it was a deer it was the pitter patter pitter patter, and he had to describe the shape and the color.
KAREN: Oh my God.
ADAM: I know! It was a great story. I thought it was hilarious.
KAREN: Well, it's not just hilarious, it's educational.
ADAM: Yeah. Especially kids that age. Toilet training and everything. I wanted to make poo fun!

ADAM: Use their mouth as a piece of anal plumbing...
KAREN: Oh. Wait. Are you gonna poop into their mouth?
ADAM: I think so...
KAREN: Who's anus is it?
ADAM: "Who's Anus Is It Anyway"! Um, if I'm going to be using their mouth as a piece of anal plumbing that would be—
KAREN: Yes, okay, that means that you're going to—
ADAM: My arse, their mouth.
KAREN: Okay, yeah, I agree. This one requires—
ADAM: A diagram?
