“Stairs! The Final Frontier! These are the adventures of Amelia Rose. Her one year old mission, to explore where she can’t get to. To seek out new toys and new things to chew on. To bravely go everywhere she’s seen her brother go before!”
Occasionally, Alex and Amelia’s Daddy would say this, or things like it when carrying Amelia around. Now that she could crawl, he didn’t carry her as much, so she didn’t hear it as often, but she still needed help with the stairs. But she did not understand why he said these things.
Alex had similar stories from when he was smaller. There were times that Daddy would be changing a dirty diaper and say, “In the words of JFK son, ‘Ask not what your diaper can do for you. Ask what you can do, in your diaper!’”
Daddy always had satisfied look when he said these things, believing them to be very clever, but Alex and Amelia simply found them cryptic. After comparing notes for several months, they arrived at the only logical conclusion: Dad is weird.
CASE: SOLVED
