beccaelizabethI read some more for Children's Literature
and got ambushed by Want-A-Baby.
Small people! Reading! With extreme cuteness!
I can do reading. I like reading. I know how to do the reading related parts of life.
I could give them books, and they could read books. How cool would that be?
... yeah, I think maybe 'Want-a-baby' involves quite a lot more complicated stuff and not just reading.
Possibly this would be more 'want to be children's librarian' or maybe 'want to teach to read'.
... nope, definitely want one of my own.
They would be tiny and cute and a Doctor Who fan. *nods*
*sighs*
Is quite difficult to concentrate on reading when it makes this much distraction in my head.
There's also small flaw in plan. Babies start out at sizes that aren't much to do with books. And the youngest books I read are mostly for 11 year olds. While it is possible to get children that are already 11 year olds, it is not quite what I had in mind. Still, has advantages. Could shop for their fandom interests. No accidentally getting one that likes football best.
;-)
The next problem is I had planned to read one more book about Medea. Now there's lots of small children in my head I do not want to be reading about Medea. Medea can go away and not go near the, er, entirely imaginary children.
:eyeroll:
It's like mixing Medea and the Sarah Jane Adventures. Not good at all.
Actually the notes book today said that Greek first time brides were only just teenagers, so Glauce that Medea burns would be, logically, about the same age as the girls in SJA. Damn that's a weird though. Nasty.
And yet another angle on Jason. Sure, he's a hero, did the whole Argo thing, got a shiny bit of wool and all. How long ago? How old are his children? Is bride #2 old enough to be their mother? Likely not. And suddenly he looks even worse.
Wonder how old Medea was when she ran away with him? I mean the whole instant passionate crush on the tall dark stranger bit sounds everso teenage now I think of it.
... this is what happens when you mix up ye ancient myth and modern social realities. Wierdness.
