And shortly thereafter the aliens will get heart attacks from their high-cholesterol diet.

I think that remembering the name of the color of the child's hair is not as important as remembering the relationship between adult and child. The color of the hair becomes useful if one needs to identify a specific child.

Yeah, well, I grew up in New Orleans' French Quarter. Walking down Bourbon and peering at the posters for the girlie shows was my exercise. . . .

Seriously, my brother and I played in the patio all summer, and on weekends and holidays during the school year, unless it was raining or really cold. We walked to the grocery for Mom, about 1.5 blocks, and rode the bus to Canal Street, the big shopping district, or hiked the six blocks. We'd visit friends after school, most of whom lived within the Quarter or just outside.

If we'd lived in the suburbs, I guess we'd have done a lot of the things you mention, but the Quarter wasn't really a kid-friendly place. It was better than it is now for sure, but even then we had only two parks or playgrounds (one being Jackson Square). Anything else required our father to load us in the car for a drive to the lakefront or to Chalmette Battlefield.

Sex with others burns off calories. In your case, sex with yourself also burns calories but you might have to do it more often.

It's also cheap, convenient, and you don't have to go home alone in the cold! What's not to like?
