1. You chose to live in Ohio, it’s par for the course here. However, as a product of our state’s public education system I can say she’s not missing much.

2. Call me crazy, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that Athena knew exactly the right answers to all of these questions, but that those answers would not be the comedy gold that she gave instead. LMAO. Literally. My ass, it’s on the floor.

3. *snort* So she got her sarcasm and wicked since of humor from you, and her looks from her mom, or is she simply your wife’s Mini Me?

4. Meanwhile the Shovelians are using anti-entropic time travel to install Worthing B. “Toast” Burner in placed of Abe Lincoln so the North loses the Civil War, dividing America and leaving Earth’s petroleum deposits defenseless against our new Entrenching overlords who need gasoline to set themselves on fire to travel back in time in the first place. Little do the Spades realize setting their plan in motion has already begun unraveling the very fabric of spacetime and arithmetic itself! Sadly, only those of Earth’s children freed from the academic rigors of high school had the imagination to foresee our doom, but none believed them until it was too late!

5. To be fair, she’s absolutely right about Shovel. Pretty much.

6. Waaah! I want my kids to come home from college and give me grief and snicker at me! I’ll even feed them and do their laundry! It’s the snarckiness I miss the most..

7. “If you’re on fire, what do you do?”

   That one’s obvious: You burn!

8. Ha! Athena’s awesome (not that that you need telling this).

9. She is hilarious and her deadpan is pretty awesome. I’m sure you know this, but you’ve got a good one, there. =)

    I love when John Scalzi does stuff with his daughter! This is funny and sad at the same time!

11. Call me crazy, but I’d bet dollars to donuts that Athena knew exactly the right answers to all of these questions, but that those answers would not be the comedy gold that she gave instead. LMAO. Literally. My ass, it’s on the floor.

    I knew that she was just screwing around when she answered his question about what one should do when one finds oneself on fire.

12. Well. That apple didn’t roll very far from the tree.

13. I think maybe it’s dad that’s seen one too many snow days. The Shining, anyone?

14. As a New Yorker who has not been out of the house in several days due to snow, I can’t say I noticed anything wrong with her answers.

15. And how long did the two of you rehearse this little gem?

16. WE ARE IMPROVISATORY GENIUSES I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW

19. A friend linked this page on google +. Ha ha ha Drink gasoline when your on fire that is classic.

20. I knew that she was just screwing around when she answered his question about what one should do when one finds oneself on fire.

    Either that or she’s suicidally depressed over her dad putting her on the Internet.

21. I love that her expectation is… play. And that the father’s expectation is also — play. Best parenting video I’ve seen in years.
