On first glance, Anya looks like she has a pointed right ear like a hobbit. But further inspection shows it is just a red binder. However, it was enough for us to consider some of the evidence that she is a hobbit. After all you might still be a hobbit without pointy ears... Firstly, she has a thick lot of hair on her head like a hobbit. Secondly, she's small like a hobbit. Thirdly, she loves to eat like a hobbit (this is resulting in a double chin - see earlier post). And lastly, she is sometimes heard saying something close to "gollum" in her sleep but that could be just throat noises...While feeding Anya last night, we watch some television for the first time in a couple of weeks. Usually we feed Anya in the bedroom but we decided to have a Friday Night activity. We watch about 10 minutes of a game show called "1 vs 100" or something like that. I won't explain the rules or anything here but it's based on answering trivia questions, etc. like so many other game shows out there. That isn't the interesting thing. The interesting thing was the lack of basic knowledge of some of the participants. For example, 4 out of 96 people didn't know that 17:00 is the same as 5:00pm... I'm glad that the question wasn't "What does '5:00pm' mean?" as I might have been even more dismayed at the possible results... I guess there is usually a "near normal distribution" for things like this but I still likes to think that there is a finite lower limit...
I must say, I leaned a little closer to home schooling for Anya when that time comes...
