   When she was very young, my daughter looked me straight in the eye, right out of the blue, and said to me with the utter earnestness only a 3-year-old can summon:

   “Be brave! Be safe! Be purple!”

   I’ve been hanging on to that advice a lot lately.

     @inthehands @codinghorror She and my son are clearly soulmates. When he was little, in the car one day, he sang “he lives in a pineapple under the spee”. I interjected, asking “what’s a spee?” Without zero hesitation, he authoritatively said “It’s guacamole with purple in it”.
