Owen at dinner, thoughtfully:
"Have I had enough sugar today? Hmmmm. I don't think I have."
Kathy: "What about the yogurt in your lunch, and the bar."
Owen: "Those don't have any sugar. Ok, the bar does. 9 grams."

Lulu decided to sell her own newspapers, price one old penny. She had the layout pretty down but the articles were just scribbled in.
Me: "What's the headline here?"Lulu: "This paper is from 1666. Just before the Great Fire. It says 'Fire Coming Tomorrow'."(When I told Ava this she fell down laughing).Later...Me: "Ah, what's this one?"Lulu: "It says there's plan to demolish Gatwick Airport and put a disco in its place."Me: "Wow, that's radical. So this is a modern one, then?"Lulu: "No, still 1666."Me: "I think people from then might struggle to understand terms like 'airport' and 'disco', Lulu."Lulu: "Yeah! They'd just say 'place with big birds' and 'floor with lights'."
Then we spent a while pretending to be 17th-century people terrified by a floor which lights up.

Evie's been into using big words without knowing what they mean lately. I was trying to get her socks on her yesterday and she kept screaming "Noooo they're too gorgeous. THEY'RE TOO GORGEOUS!" She also said something was "too community" the other day.

Not actual speech, but endless lovely laughter from Ella yesterday as she watched our dog play with a balloon. Not sure why this cracked her up so much, but she was in hysterics.

"Daddy, can you turn on the warm conditioning?"
― Immediate Follower (NA), Friday, 8 November 2013 00:18 (ten years ago) link
It took me awhile to understand that my Australian mother-in-law also meant heating when she referred to "air-conditioning". I guess having heat blow out of the vents does change the condition of the air, but still.
EA's just thinking beyond us all, is what I'm saying.

Henry was sick most of last week. High fevers that required Tylenol. The fevers stopped by Saturday but occasionally, over the weekend, he would ask for medicine which he was refused. On Tuesday night he was mad at me because it was close to bedtime and he wanted none of it.
Me: 'Henry, we need to head upstairs to bed.'Henry: 'NO!'Me: 'Yes. You've got 5 minutes then we need to go up after that, okay?'Henry: 'No! You're not my friend, Mama!!'Me: 'Okay but we're still going up to bed'
Suddenly he jumps up on the couch next to me and grabs my face with both hands. He pulls my face right up to his and says in a low, menacing growl:
Henry: 'Give me medicine, Mama. I...AM...VERY...SICK'
I guess we know who to watch out for on the substance abuse front.

The arguments over possession are ridiculous. Fortunately, Beeps is growing out of it, but still. They get into fights in the car over who owns "yellow."

The color. That's not some nickname for a stuffed animal or anything.

Well if you think that the king succeeds at being horrific that's a definition of "tough" that's as valid as any surelyI know ppl who'd never go near a macabre story about children dying, for reasons that needn't be explained, yet would have no problem enjoying the obvious pleasures of a great book that happens to have an unusual ("difficult") style or structure

not saying so much as drawing but:
in Feb my brother is getting married at the national gallery gardens in melb
recently my 6 yo nephew went on a class excursion to the gallery, to see a Monet exhibition. he came home with a postcard, saying this was his favorite paintinghttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r1a-7OVQHV4/TWb41Xv5P0I/AAAAAAAAEbM/1jkbplItMWo/s1600/cakeify-hurray.gif
at some point his mum, my sister, told him "Uncle Adam & Caitlin are getting married there"
he went off to his room & drew a picture of my brother & his fiancee in their wedding gear standing on monet's bridge. he thought my sister meant they were getting married on the bridge
