Infinite Monkeys

Eek Speak

Here's something you'd rather not hear from your seven-year-old daughter:

"Thanks for the advice, dad, but I'd rather just kill myself."

The explanation:

Playing Super Mario 64, Eek wants to get out of the current game and play a "different" Mario that has earned more magic castle stars. Her idea is to cause Mario to jump to his death until she runs out of lives, then select the game she wants from the main menu.

I suggest that she can get to the main menu quicker by simply pressing the reset button. She does this, but then utters the above phrase.

As a testimony to my parental freakishness, my first thought when I heard her say that was how funny that would look if I published it on Infinite Monkeys with no explanation of the context.
