I actually said to him the other night, "I know I'm not your friend. I'M YOUR DADDY."
That shut him up for once, albeit for five minutes.

AW! That's a good answer though.

At some point it was really really important to my sister that she owned Lake Michigan.

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

K likes me to tell her that different baby animals are going to sleep when she's in her crib falling asleep. Lately she started suggesting her own -- "Baby tiger. Baby raccoon. Baby tree. Baby light. Baby schnitzel. Baby snowflake" etc.

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

hahaha bedtime conversation is always most hilarious. It's like they take this brief moment of not bouncing off walls to reflect deeply.

The comic timing of it was so perfect that I started cracking up. So then of course instead of going to sleep, she kept saying things about boogers in funny voices to try and make me laugh.

Beeps has been motoring through all of the Charlie Brown holiday specials this weekend. During a quiet hour, I gave her some of my old Peanuts to read. She wrapped herself in a blanket and was actually quiet for a little bit.
Asked her tonight what she thought, and she said she loved them! "I had no idea Snoopy could talk!"
Never thought about it, but I guess it would be surprising to go from squeaky laughing beagle to dark and stormy watchdog with one eye peeled on the cat next door.

*"crotch", but with the "c" sound drawn out to approximate hocking a loogie as well as an "r"/"w" inversion.

Also, has a large collection of mythical animal toys, including some with multiple heads: hydra, several two-headed dragons, a three-headed dragon. These are referred to as, e.g. "three head of dragon", "five head of snake".

SCENE: DRIVING TO GRANDPARENTS ON CHRISTMAS EVE –
BEEPS: [SINGING] Feliz Navidad! FeLIZ NaviDAD!
ME: You know that's "Merry Christmas" in Spanish, right?
BEEPS: I know.
ME: Yeah, "Navidad" - like "Nativity". (NOTE: I have no idea if this is really the etymology, made sense at the time.)
BEEPS: So then "Feliz" would be the name of Jesus' mother, I got it.
