Registered

What's that tiny 'r' in the circle, mom?

® - this one?

It's just an 'r' who really got fed up in the spelling/phonics scam. You know like how you don't pronounce Rolex but Lolek instead? And it couldn't stand living next to an ass.. I mean 's'..whatever.. So it ran away from the alphabet and is now living in a bubble.

*blink blink*

Yep..wish we could do the same huh? Just run away from the clan.

*blink blink*

Orait.. Don't need to thank me, son. It just happened that I am very knowledgeable. *proud smug*

*blink blink*

"What's the letter R in a small circle again, mom?"

Maaannn... weren't you listening? Ok fine.. it's a 'registered' symbol. It's there to 'decorate' some words. Now run along and play..with...that thing..yep..that one that is made in china and doesn't have that 'r in a circle' sign.

Gosh! Toys these days seriously make the kids think so much! (or is just mine? :P)

(Seriously, what do you say to a 5 yr old about copyrights and registered trademarks?)
