The Kids Are Not Alright

So, Jim's kids have started making a new sound. They've also taken to swearing, but you'll have to hear him tell it.

I just wanted to say that I used to make a similar sound to "dar dar dar dar dar" when I was a kid. From talking to Lovely Wife and Jim, my version was much faster and not formed in the same way that Bear Burger does it. But it's close.

For me it's one of those 'thinking sounds' that I would make when I was completely immersed in my own thoughts or activities. And I'm inclined to think I'm perfectly normal in doing this.

Normal...

hmmmm.... Reflecting now back on my childhood, I don't know if I was ever described as 'normal.' Maybe Bear's Burger's problem is worse than I thought.

Then again, I didn't start spewing obscenities after making that sound either, so maybe everything is ok after all.

Update: One of these days I'm going to pay attention and figure out which one of Jim's kids are which. They're all super cute, but they're definitely distinct individuals. One of them brings me lots of candy. One makes me hold him over the fire. And the big one sits in awe of my ability to master the arcane wisdom behind Yu-Gi-Oh.
