I need to preface this post by mentioning that we watched all of season 6 of Dexter over the past couple of weekends. Keep this in mind.
Conversation between Eric and I in bed last night:
Me: Ugh, why does he (our son) choose baseball. I like sports with 2 practices on weekdays and 1 game on Saturdays, not sports with practices and games whenever they feel like it, 5 days a week.
Eric: Some parents don't care about anything except their kid's baseball
Me: There are 2 kinds of serial killers: the ones whose parents never paid any attention to them and the ones whose parents MADE them play baseball ALL THE TIME
Eric: And the men whose parents MADE them take ballet
Me: I've never heard of a male serial killer who took ballet. I'm not saying there aren't any, I just haven't heard of them
Eric: Silence
Me: Maybe they're the ones that don't get caught
Eric: More silence. He's probably wishing I would shut the f* up so he can go to sleep.
Me: We should make him take ballet so that on the *off*chance* he becomes a serial killer, he'll be smart enough to not get caught
Eric: I'm not making him take ballet.
Me: IT'S FOR HIS OWN GOOD
Eric: No.
Eric was nice to me this morning, so apparently he's not mad (or not as much as he probably should be) that I suggested that our son has the potential to become a serial killer. Maybe he realizes that if one of our kids is going to turn into a serial killer, our son is the more likely culprit. The girls talk too much to be serial killers. Husband stabbers, maybe. They're hard-core when they don't get their way.
I should probably hide the knives until they all move out. Or stop watching Dexter. Am I the only person who relates EVERYTHING to serial killers after watching this show?
Yeah, I can see how being a ballet dancer would lessen a guy's chance at getting caught. Ballet shoes probably don't make any noise, so no one would hear him run away. Plus he'd be in great shape and quick on his feet, like a ninja, but, you know, not exactly.
