sparklet had a <em>bit</em> of a meltdown today, because we took down the christmas tree without her permission.</p>
<p>she kept crying &#8220;my tree, my tree!&#8221; and was utterly inconsolable.  so i did what any good father would do &#8212; i started quoting from eulogy scene for Tiny Tim from <em>the muppet christmas carol</em>:</p>
<blockquote><p>
It&#8217;s all right, children. Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it. I am sure that we shall never forget [our tree], or this first parting that there was among us.
</p></blockquote>
<p>father of the year.
