He was a first-generation American, and a life-long New Deal Democrat. He was fiercely patriotic, wore US flag hats and proudly spoke of his military service, but he was ready to take my uncle to Canada to save him from Vietnam. He loved politics, and the last political thing he did before his death was to vote for Barrack Obama. He called me to tell me about it, and about how proud he was of how far we’d come.

My Dad and I agreed on one thing. God, we are so, so glad he’s not alive to see what’s happening now.

“Fire powers? Dude, I’m an ice hero. I freeze shit and manipulate water. Also, I love aquariums. Thanks for the free entry!”

“But… you’re dressed like Guy Fieri…?”

for a Humans are Weird story.

So human babies REALLY need to be touched. Its totally critical for development. Small babies can literally die if you don’t cuddle them enough.

But imagine that the aliens are more like reptiles, in that they just sort of hatch and their parents feed them or stay around (and presumably, like, educate them, since they’re intelligent aliens), but don’t carry them around or cuddle in the same way.

So one of them gets stuck with a human baby that they’re responsible for and of course, they go ask a xenobiologist or someone ‘what do you do for a human baby, they’re all weird and squishy’.

And the scientist says: well, you have to stroke them. Like actually pick them up and stroke their skin.

Why, says the alien, what could that possibly accomplish. Does it make their skin tougher. Will they grow proper scales.

“Why do they ask to pet our fur? Why do they touch every animal we find? Humans are so strange!”

“No, no, Pod Leader, we have discovered the reason for this. Humans require tactile contact for health. Their young will actually die without frequent touchings of skin, Even as adults, their health deteriorates if they are isolated from touch. Human Technical Adjunct Rupert is trying to nurture us and preserve our healthfulness with this touching they offer.”

“… they actually believe that touching our fur with their grubby paws is healthful?”

“For humans, Pod Leader, it is.A little unsanitary, we are understanding the reservations, but it is kindly meant. We think it is actually very nice of Human Technical Adjunct Rupert to be so concerned with our healthfulness.”

“We are still not sure we believe this. That sounds like a weak attempt at deceit to us.”

“Let us show you this vid of humans nurturing their young, it is very instructive.”

“Ridiculously easy buttermilk biscuits!” You click the link. It’s a novella about finding inner peace in suburbia. You never knew you were disturbed till now.

“Ridiculously easy green beans!” You click the link, there are twelve ingredients. None of them are green beans.

“Ridiculously easy salted pistachio caramel latte coffee cake in three easy steps!” You click the link. There are twelve steps. 

“Ridiculously easy marshmallow fondant!“ You click the link. It’s another novella about suburbia, this time about the dangers of feeding chemicals to your children. You wonder when you acquired these children and worry about their eyes. They are too bright, too happy, too shining…

“Ridiculously easy evaporated milk custard!*” *Must own own cow.

“Ridiculously easy, easy to make, easy in three minutes, easy!” It doesn’t tell you what you’re making but you’re pretty certain it shouldn’t be hissing.

“Ridiculously easy,” the article reads, “easy, it’s so easy, easy” you hear laughing. Your face hurts why does your face hurt?

There’s a “Welcome ____!”  chalkboard at my vet’s office for the pets who have appointments. Today I found out that if it’s not an emergency/time-sensitve and the owner has no preference, the lady who schedules them does so that the chalkboard will have a theme.   Last time my dog Charleston Chew was in for a checkup, there was also a Snickers (Cat), an Oreo (another cat, bet you can’t guess what color) and a Toblerone (Boa Constrictor) on the board.  Today there were five Baileys of varying species.  I followed her on facebook just to see her “Best Of”

There’s coffe shops and restaurants with jokes or drawings on the sandwich boards or tip jars. Churches with marquees with a good one-liner avery time I drive by (STILL mad I didn’t get a pic of the “LIT FOR CHIST: JOHN 2:1-11″ sign).  Joke flavors of ice cream, Terrible puns for your Wifi Network, my friend who took advantage of her house’s to paint a pair of eyes, a naose, and a wide grin on the otuside of her blinds so the four windows make a face. There’s a million little works of art- color studies and wordplays and small theatrical performances- all around us.

They mean a whole awful lot to me.  I would drive a whole extra mile longer on the way home from school in high school to see what the neighbors with the extensive collection of inflatable lawn ornaments had done now.
