Death by Water

Today I asked Mose if he thought I could drink a whole one liter bottle of water and not die.

"I try to drink a liter of water everyday," Mose said.

"No," I said, "I mean if I drank it right now. Would I die?"

Mose didn't answer.

(It's true, though. Mose tries to drink at least a liter of water a day. He's very good about that.)

The Home Office

I'm considering applying for online work. Mose has been encouraging. Then I heard a discomfiting fact. The incidence of work-at-home rape is actually quite high. I haven't talked with Mose about this. I don't know if I will.

The Chandelier

Today I was hitting Mose with a pillow when I accidentally shattered the chandelier. "Here," Mose said, when I was done vacuuming the glass off the floor. "You should probably vacuum the couch too."
