STM:	Sp— Spider... Spider!... Oh, spider. (lifts his right hand, and violently smacks his left hand, which is resting on his chest)
ADAM:	Ow!
KAREN:	Oh, Baby? (laughs hysterically)
ADAM:	It hurts!
KAREN:	(continued hysterics)
ADAM:	When I'm hurt, your not meant to laugh! You're meant to be concerned and show me sympathy.
KAREN:	(a stab at sympathy) Oh.
ADAM:	Oh? That's rubbish.
KAREN:	Here (rubbing his battered hand).
ADAM:	(pathetically) Oh-ho. There was a spider on my chest.
KAREN:	But it was your hand.
ADAM:	I didn't know that at the time.
KAREN:	That would be a HUGE spider.

"Your social life and the Bermuda Triangle are pretty much the same thing. Total mysteries and devoid of life. Now get the fuck out. Go play in the playground with the others."

 or click here

So, is STM criticizing the social life of a seven-year-old?

"Who do you think you are, coming in here with your pink blancmange. You and your classy ways."

 or click here

I was utterly baffled by this one. Thankfully, Adam was able to educate me about the blancmange. And here's a lovely image of a pink one. Looks to me like a jell-o mold:

 or click here

And here is the reveal coming off that. Note that even Adam had no idea what he had actually yelled.

 or click here

STM:	WHAT'S THAT?!
KAREN:	Matza? What? Mozart? Do you know what you yelled?
ADAM:	"Monster."
KAREN:	Oh, "monster." That does make more sense.
ADAM:	What makes sense about "monster?"
KAREN:	Well, it makes more sense that you would scream out "monster" than "matza", or "Mozart."
ADAM:	I would never scream anything about Mozart. Matza, on the other hand, is nasty, evil stuff.

 or click here

As far as I can tell from my research, there is no such thing as a "migrey" bat. If anyone has any more information that might explain this one, please share.

Karen's notes: STM kept to himself again last night, forcing me to dip into the nest-egg. I suppose he's sulking that there's no one there to listen to him in real time. Oh well, it's just one more night without me. And then, he'd better make it up to me!

Karen's notes: I didn't find anything in the recording last night, but this one from the nest-egg couldn't possibly have a more appropriate day to shine. And, by the way, Adam actually IS a mega-super-awesome dad. Happy father's Day, Baby, and Happy Father's Day to all you other dads out there!

Karen's notes: These are from the nest-egg. I suppose STM kept quiet last night because he was lonely. I'm in the US, you see, and Adam's back in London. When we're separated, Adam has to record himself and then send me the audio file. I pop it open in the morning, never knowing what I'm going to find. Well, let's just hope STM comes back out of his shell tomorrow.

Karen's notes: Well, it was one of those quiet nights, so these are from the nest-egg.

I'm heading off to Boston for a few days, so the blog will be posted during US mornings, rather than UK mornings. Incidentally, on Friday and Saturday nights, I'll be going to see the new play by Liars and Believers, so if anyone wants to come along, please find me and say hello!

I can't quite make sense of this one. Is he insulting this person's genitalia, or the female lifestyle in general?

Oh. Oh wow. Yup, that's a jaw-dropper.

Incidentally, that's pretty accurate. Adam departed company from his first marriage with nothing but a few changes of clothes and his set of Global kitchen knives. Literally.

"The gym is my domain. Machines are my bitches."

 or click here

Interesting, considering that Adam hasn't set foot in the gym for weeks.

That was the only thing Adam said last night. This reveal is actually from early Saturday morning, I was just in too much of a rush to transcribe it yesterday. What you need to know is that on Friday, we went to the kids' school to give a presentation about volunteering at the monkey sanctuary in Ecuador. One of the children in year two (second grade) is clearly obsessed with crocodiles, as he kept asking about them (without putting his hand up, I might add). So:

 or click here

Sebastian's parents, if you are readers of the blog, Adam does not actually think your child is stupid, nor does he have any intention of using him as a thermometer in predator-infested waters.

STM:	(Lots of little grunts. Mumbling about water. More grunts. More water mumbling. A bizarre, untranscribable sound. Water again. Then—) CROCODILE!
ADAM:	Stupid kid. Got crocodiles in my head.
KAREN:	(chuckles)
ADAM:	Morning.
KAREN:	Morning, Baby, I love you.
ADAM:	I remember dipping my toe in the river, at the rescue centre, checking how cold it was. And then there was a crocodile. That was Sebastian's fault.
KAREN:	Yeah.
ADAM:	Next time I dream of the river, I'm gonna use him to test the temperature of the water. Then we'll see if he's so excited about crocodiles.

"I'm bored. Let's go and trip some old people."

Nice one! And I could tell that Adam was gearing up for one of his marathon sleep talking sessions, too. But then I accidentally passed the red light of the recorder right past his eyeline, with the following results:

 or click here

ADAM:	(waking) Whuzzat? Flashing light?
KAREN:	Oh shit. It was me accidentally, with the recorder. I'm sorry.
ADAM:	What are you doing holding the recorder again?
KAREN:	We've been over this so many times!
ADAM:	Okay.
KAREN:	I do it every time because the sound quality is better than the microphone. We've talked about this every time! I'm sorry, Baby. Go back to sleep and talk some more.
ADAM:	You woke me up.
KAREN:	I know.
ADAM:	For that your punishment shall be silence.
KAREN:	I know.
ADAM:	I can't summon STM up at will, you know.
KAREN:	Listen, Sleep Talkin' Man in there, please come back out again later. I didn't mean to shine the light and make you go away. Can you hear me, Sleep Talkin' Man, in there?
ADAM:	Fucking no?
KAREN:	I'm not asking you.

"Put those finger-toes away. Put them away! Freak of fucking nature. Ugh. Finger-toes, don't you pick things up with them! Ew. That's just not right. You start using them like hands, I'll chop your fuckin' arms off. Then you'll be stuck with them. That'll teach ya."

 or click here

I'm with STM on this one. Ever seen people who can do all sorts of fingery tasks with their toes? Gross.

"Stop talking. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, 'kay? Just say 'okay'. Shut the fuck up! Just say 'okay'. Shut the fuck up! Stop talking. Stop talking! Say 'okay'— Shut the fuck up! Ugh."

Hmmm. Could this be Adam and STM coming into some sort of existential crisis?

ps- am I the only one who can't seem to play the audio today?

"Your singing can wake the dead. So shut the fuck up. I don't want any zombies dropping their jazz hands all over the fucking place. Alright? Just shut it."

I wanted to include an image of jazz hands, for those who need the visual. But after plugging the term into Google images, I'd rather let you guys have that full experience. Go on, try it.

Karen's notes: I could tell that Adam was JUST about to start talking this morning, when he suddenly woke up yelling that the pillow was attacking him. Totally gutted. So, these are from the nest-egg.

June 3 2011

"I can't find my elbows. I've got no elbows! Where do I get new elbows from? No, that's a KNEE shop, I need an elbow. Oh, bugger. Elbow shop, where are you?... Found it! Right, I'll be back in two days. Off to get some elbows. Want any?"

 or click here

So, I guess that it takes them two days to fit a new set of elbows?

"I've got worms in the shed. A gardener's freakin' nightmare. Seriously. Oh fuck…"

 or click here

Too bad I had stopped the recorder this morning just after we woke up. When I played this last one for Adam, he did a brilliant voice-over for the coming blockbuster Worms In a Shed.

What a delightful view of the institution of marriage.

"I AM the third-person omniscient. I know everything."

 or click here

For those who don't remember their middle school education very well, third-person omniscient is the unnamed literary voice that tells a story in "he/she" rather than "I". So basically, what STM is saying here is that he is the all-knowing narrator of the universe?

Amazingly, I had to tell ADAM what was meant by this. He never learned a lot of the formal grammar stuff that many of us did.
