Death Ray
Lately, Monk keeps coming up with ideas for inventions of things that have already been invented. It must be tricky to be a child of this age, when so much of the good stuff has already been conceptualized. Today, his "inventions" included an operating system that would allocate a certain amount of space to each user who has a log in on the network, and also some space in which all users can share files. The following conversation ensued:
Me: You know...it's good, though, for you to be thinking of this stuff. Because at some point you are really going to think of something that has never been invented yet, and maybe you can invent it!
Monk: You mean...like a Death Ray?
Me: Well, maybe. I'm not sure how I feel about being the mother of the kid who invented the death ray, though.
Monk: Don't worry. I'll change my name.
hahahahaha.
