Papa Blox UFO

Here is a UFO. I don't think I needed to make any modifications to Papa Blox's design to solve this one.

Running season starts

It was a beautiful 50 F this morning when I ran my first outdoor barefoot mile of the year.

Pushmo Cupcakes

Here is a Pushmo / Pullblox camera. I added the manholes. It could be more difficult than I made it.

Two interminable recurring conversations for parents

I always have two conversations with my children that will not cease in the foreseeable future. The first goes like this:

Situation 1: Yelling

Setting: After asking for the nth time for something to be done and then yelling.

Me: You must like it when I yell.
Child: No, I do not.
(Children NEVER like to be yelled at.)
Me: Then why do you wait until I yell to do what you're told? If you don't like when I yell you would do what you are told before I yell.
Child: I don't know...
(The child cannot compete with that logic.)

Situation 2: Do what I want not what you want

Me: I want you to do so and so.
Child: I don't want to.
Me: If you wanted to, you would already be doing it. Because I had to ask you to do it, I already know you don't want to. You will do it because I asked you to, not because you want to.

There is no answer for that logic, either. But, it is still recurring. I would like to think the child will eventually remember these situations, but it mostly escapes them.

Papa Blox self portrait

Here is one of Papa Blox, himself. I added a destination.

Papa Blox strawberry cake

Here is the strawberry cake level from Papa Blox. I had to add the destination. Of course, I picked the cherry.

Papa Blox camera

Here, I had to add a destination. I am sure there is a more clever destination for this one.
