Let's not romanticize the deer. In the words of John McPhee, Deer are just "rats with antlers". OK, the deer crossed the road because it was the chicken’s day off.

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 19:08:30 +0000 http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2008/02/26/deer-trap/#comment-326947 Nice. This thread reminds me: as the parent of a 3-year-old-girl myself, I love to share with other parents how awesome Twitter has been as a tool for documenting the hilarious things kids say. My wife stays at home, so she just keeps a browser tab open that's signed into my daughter's (non-public) Twitter account. She types in the most memorable quotes just a few minutes after they're uttered, so they can be remembered verbatim. Then, via Twitterific, I get to "hear" them throughout my working day. It rocks. Nice.

To my now teenage daughters, the replaying of these kind of stories, often from long passed roadtrips, are more precious than old photos, videos, or craftwork. "Dad tell me again when I said..." Don't forget them. Lovely.
