My wife, Penny: *while sleeping, suddenly puts her hand on my arm like she has something important to say*

Pen: "Do you know where I put my snakes?"

Me: "Uh, no, I haven't seen them. When was the last time you saw them?"

Pen: "Sunday. I think?"

Me: "How many do you have?"

Pen: "20"

Me: "Oookay... Are they dangerous?"

Pen: "I don't remember."

Me: "I'm worried for Sonya"

Pen: "It's ok, they like postcards."

Me: "Eat them or read them?"

Pen: "They like to read them."

Me: "Who is sending them postcards?"

Pen: "I think they're from asian people, but not sure."

Me: .... *not sure how to respond*

Pen: "I hope we find them soon. I already checked the onion bag."

Me: "Ok? Anywhere else?"

Pen: "In the pants drawer."

Me: "Anywhere else?"

Pen: "In the house."

Me: "The basement?"

Pen: "Yeah."

Me: "The attic?"

Pen: *thinks* "Not yet. I'll check tomorrow."

Me: "So what kind of snakes are these? What should I be looking for?"

Pen: "There's all kinds of types."

Me: "Do any of them have names?"

Pen: "I can't remember any right now."

Me: "So should I just go around the neighborhood shouting 'snakes! Come here, snakes!'?"

Pen: "Yeah, they like that."

Me: "Do you have any pictures? I could make some 'missing' posters."

Pen: "No, that's dumb."

Further Pennykins Theory

“He doesn’t know how to mend those bridges and mend those fences,” Stephens says. “She didn’t want to close the door on that relationship, but now, with the baby gone, it’s much easier for her to move on. Once Jim clears his name, if he wants to mend that relationship, it’s going to be harder for him to do. The two of them are farther apart than ever.”

Now, while the showrunners of Gotham have in fact on some occasions lied, this is further proof that yes, Lee lost her baby, and how this is ostensibly meant to pull them apart.

If Lee were to have kept the baby, she and Jim would’ve been linked forever on the show. As I have said for some time... Lee and Jim are a parenthesis, relatively speaking. Jim and Barbara are the endgame, no matter whether we like it or not. Lee and Alfred are, too.

The Trials And Tribulations Of Leslie Thompkins

This is a thought that hit me while mulling over the latest spoilers and teasers for Gotham...

In previous canon versions of Batman, Leslie has functioned as a sort of surrogate mother for Bruce Wayne. She was his therapist after his parents died, and this connection was part of the reason that her and Alfred grew closer and eventually embarked on a romantic relationship. This, I feel, is exactly what will happen on the show as well, as I cannot imagine her romance with James lasting past this season. It became apparent that the show were setting up this possibility by episode 3, “The Last Laugh.”

I am one hundred percent behind this development. One thing I’ve always applauded Gotham for, unlike some other dramas, is that the show is making a point of that your love life doesn’t start at 18 and end at 25. In real life, there are all kinds of romances.

However, in previous canon Leslie is very opposed to Bruce’s vigilantism, and she actually feels partiallly responsible for it, believing she has failed him as a role model.

Now, imagine that she actually gives birth to the girl that will, one day, become Batgirl and decide to follow in Bruce’s footsteps?

There’s a bumpy road ahead for miss Thompkins.

Sometimes, my wife talks in her sleep. And sometimes, I like to talk back. These are those stories.

Her: “Babe, don’t play Tetris in the basement anymore. It scares me.”

Me: “It scares you? Why?”

Her: “It’s... it’s just everywhere.”

Sometimes, my wife talks in her sleep. And sometimes, I like to talk back. These are those stories. While I was typing up ghat last story, this happened: Her: *Sits upright rather suddenly and stays that way for a few moments* After waiting for her to say or do something else, I finally ask: Is something wrong? Her: Oh, I thought I lost you. Me: Oh... well I'm right here. She lays back down and puts her arm around me. Me: Is it because I'm on the other side of the bed from you? (We switched positions for the first night for reasons) Her: That must be it. Me: It's not like I was lost in the woods or anything. Her: Yeah, you would die. Thanks for the vote of confidence, love.

Sometimes, my wife talks in her sleep. And sometimes, I like to talk back. These are those stories. For anybody who hasn't been payimg attention, my better half and I have been trying to buy a house for the past several months, and the process has been an absolute nightmare of stress and anxiety. But today, we finally closed on one and (thanks to the help of my amazing family and awesome friends) got mostly moved in. My wife, Penny, went to bed early as she had to open the next morning. When I finally got to bed too, she rolled over and asked me a very interesting question. Her: Did we get the house? Me: Haha, of course we did, sweetie. Her: And what about the bear cave? Me: ... Whaaat? Her: Did we get the bear cave? We can't put them in the garage, it's too hot Me: Oh, yeah, that makes sense, they would die. Her: Yeah. I hope we got it. Me: I'll ask Cheryl (our realtor) tomorrow. Her: Ok, thank you. Me: You're welcome. How many bears do we have again? Her: I think two Me: Oh yeah. What were their names? Her: I can't remember. Me: Well, can we ask them? Her: Yeah, I'll do it in the morning.
