darchildreSo, I had to pick Katie up from the ferry tonight and we had the following conversation on the way home. (It is late, and I have been reading a lot of Tolkien lately. That is my excuse.)
Me: So, elves don't die. I mean, you can kill them, but the don't just die. They sail off to an island somewhere and live forever.
Katie: What animal is it, y'know, that lives in the sea and doesn't die?
Me: Lobsters*?
Katie: That's it!
Me: So, lobsters are the elves of the sea.
That is my favorite thing that I've said in weeks.
And now, I am going to sleep.
*This is probably not actually true, but I read it somewhere and I find the idea of immortal lobsters to be utterly charming.
