Aliens
This morning I was listening to the finale music for the film SIGNS (a very favorite film, also featuring this very favorite music), and Mago asked me what it was. I told him it was from a scary movie with aliens where the people are in danger, but they (SPOILER if you haven’t seen it!) show
Naturally, he said he wants to see the film, and I told him I’ll let him.. in many years. But I held him tight as the music progressed, as if we were endangered (as the music so well conveys).
In a while Nem-nem awoke and I sat with her and listened to the same music continuing. Mago looked at her admiringly and said:
Heh. She’s scared of the aliens. She’s like, I want to see the scary aliens!
I don’t know where he picked up that idiom, but it tickles me. He’s three years old on Monday.
Mago wanted to draw the aliens (which I explained to him are scary pretend monsters), and he did so. Here are three drawings of them. These are done with his left hand - he’s a southpaw like his dad - and like his uncle who shares his middle (real) name
You can right-click (on Windows - I dunno fer Mac, sorry) to see an option to view in a new window - larger. I don’t know why the first isn’t showing as large as the others - I like the first best.

You can tell Mago I think his aliens are cool and scary.

Those aliens look like stinging jellyfish to me — and that IS SCARY!
Thanks for sharing.

[…] Except the image galleries that were relying on plugins and image directories and plugin database tables I haven’t copied from the old blog - those galleries are broken. No matter - I could fix them with the backups I have (the old blog is still in a backup folder at my host), but I’m going to redo all those galleries with something I like better, I think - simpleviewer, which I’m using at this entry at this other blog.
