AJ is upstairs trying to explain to The Girl Next Door how our new carbon monoxide detector works.

TGND: How come it says �0�?

AJ: Well, the numbers tell how much poisonous gas there is. That�s the gas that�s bad for us.

TGND: Like farting?

AJ: No. It�s carbon dioxide [sic].

TGND: What are the numbers for?

AJ: Well, when there�s too much gas, the numbers get bigger. That�s really bad.

TGND: What if it says 20?

AJ: That�s bad.

TGND: What if it says 50?

AJ: That�s very bad.

TGND: What if it says 100?

AJ: That�s the baddest.

TGND: Does it ever say �Snack time� and you go downstairs and have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

AJ: Um, I don�t think so.

TGND: Oh. Let�s play something else.

[Second entry today. Click back for my rant on BMI testing in schools. Also, there�s a new entry at AJ�s Clubhouse. And this time the link works.]
