Pace on Earth

I can't remember exactly when but at some point in the not too distant past Normy began using lists in all conversations. For example, for that last sentence he would have said something like this; "I can't remember exactly when but it was A)a couple of years ago or B)more then a couple of years ago that I started making lists". This bugs me far less then it amuses me so I don't really want him to stop doing it but it is a curious quirk worth noting. And I don't think I ever would have noticed it had the regular progression of a list continued but at some point in the evolution of this quirk Normy stumbled and now he has a brain block that won't let him list past B. When there are only two options I have always found the conjunction "or" to be particularly useful.

Plus I think A and B are lost without C. Maybe I'll get him to start with numbered lists because it seems to me that 1 and 2 can do without 3; although I'm always open to suggestion. Depending on who you ask 3 is either A)a crowd B)the magic number C)the number of goals my Oil will need to win the Cup tonight or D)all of the above.

We love lists!
