Reading: Roger Hargreaves, Miss Hilfsbereit, Mister Muskel, Mister Lustig; David Macaulay, Das große Mammut-Buch der Technik, 114-118 (helicopters and VTOLs). Listening: L. Frank Baum, Der Zauberer von Oz, 2.36 - 3.12. Viewing: Let's play Minecraft - Part 5 - Mach's dir gemütlich (16 min.).

Right after I read the three Hargreaves stories J offered the following observation about Mister Pingelig (who didn't even come up in the stories today; we read about him two days ago): Weißt du, Papa: Ich glaube, Mr. Pingelig ist zu pingelig, um lachen zu können.

I thought that was both very insightful about human character (especially given the fact that humorlousness in not actually thematized in the story) and very elegantly expressed.
