Miss E's Quotes.

"When we get a dog,

I think we should get a...
Golden Re-fetcher."

"I'm looking for rocks...

with crystals inside,

Lighting Rocks."
(Thunder-eggs a.k.a. Geodes )

"Is my marshmallow

Silver-Brown yet?"

Big E. A milestone.

The age of editing stories on the fly is over.
Reading a new book from the library, and suddenly "stupid or fat" or some other rude thing to say. Or sometimes I disagree with just one idea in story. Or sometimes I'm just lazy.

Big E can now read fast enough to correct my omssions in stories.
"Mom, that didn't say 'juice. It said 'Beer'."
Thanks, Calvin & Hobbes.

The end of an era.

Miss E describes Snoring...

Miss E walks into our room, looking very tired. "Brother E is making this snarly noise while he is sleeping... And I don't like it. "
"It's like bumps in his nose. And I don't like it..."

Miss E on Mad Survival Skillz. YO.

We have discovered Man vs. Wild on netflix recently...
Bear Grylls is a dude who gets dropped off in wilderness situations, and demonstrates how to survive and get back to civilization... He crafts a shelter, hunts for food, navigates wierd terrain, etc.
The kids are pretty impressed.
Everytime we are out hiking "Oh, look! I can climb this like Bear Grylls!"
"Bear Grylls would eat that if he had to survive..."

About 30 seconds into an episode, sweet Miss E announces "I hope he kills something soon!"

Yes, you might want to take her on your next trip to the wild.

Giant Robot

We were taking a snack break from cleaning,
Across the Universe by the Beatles came on Pandora,

"Nothing's gonna change my world..."

Big E's skeptical response -

Nothing is going to change his world?
What if a giant robot came and destroyed a building?
That would change his world.
