No accomplishment is too small to share. Too often now it seems that with all the things we can observe around the world and the random talents people put on display that it can feel like we are incapable of achieving anything worthwhile. Furthermore, the things we work towards and struggle to achieve are quickly met with the next goal.

Big or small, the victories can only sustain a person so long before they are back down the hill and working that rock back up again. What felt over too soon before you had to get back to the grind?

There is something wrong with how we continue to perceive ourselves in the context of the universe that we observe. Why wouldn’t the universe have something like this on some distant planet or in space itself? It doesn’t require oxygen, sunlight and can tolerate extreme cold and seems to prefer a little less gravity. Why isn’t this our alien ship? These do create their own lights. Why wouldn’t this have flown over, landed and then sought its most familiar climate in order to survive?

Yet most every story is about this superior ufo that has better knowledge and technology than us and are from civilizations that infiltrate ours or are protected by the thousands of leaders around the world that have been perpetually changing for the last 75 years but have managed to keep it a universal secret while random people play whistle blower with no hard evidence.

So I am asking, how would you react if the real evidence of life on another planet or in space is something like that picture?

What are your favorite quotes that you’ve used to parent your kids?

Or what are some of the moments from other episodes that maybe hit a little differently once you became a father?

Besides this episode where I think Homer does his best parenting, I also could appreciate Homer running up the stairs with a pizza the second Barts starts whining about being hungry.

I do recall telling the school once, we run a house of discipline, the boy will be punished.

What is the throw away line from the show that you’ve used for years and forgot it was even from The Simpsons until you heard it again on a rerun?
