Kids Say The Darndest Things '07
Regina and the boy were at Target yesterday. They'd gone there because Regina had left the teapot on the stove for three hours accidentally, and the pot got a wee bit burned. I stayed home. You burned the teapot, I said. You run the errand.
Elijah wanted a bunch of things at Target. He got one of them: A video of extremely highbrow Spongebob Squarepants cartoons, which Regina decided to buy because we're sick of pausing the TIVO every time a commercial comes on Nickelodeon. The other stuff, Regina ignored. This pissed Elijah off.
"Mama," he said. "I'm tired of your melodrama!"
"Oh, really?" she said.
"Yes! I want to talk about my melodrama, all day long!"
Son, your wish is granted.

Our daughter eagerly awaits the arrival of a baby sister in June. Her enthusiasm has yielded a few Reader's Digest moments. First, during her pre-school's holiday gala, she was standing on the end of one of the choir rows, next to her teacher. After one song, she leaned over and told her teacher, "When my mommy has the baby, if it's a boy, I'm going to call him Jesus." Her teacher nearly fell over laughing. Last week, also at pre-school, the class was learning the bit about April showers bringing May flowers, and she piped up, "Yes, and June brings babies!"
Awwwwww.

I'll be graduating with my BFA in Watercolor in two weeks. To graduate I had to put up a show in the university's gallery. After the reception and the slide presentation (also required) I made arrangements with my son's teachers to bring the class of four and five year olds to the gallery.
During the chaos I made the point that I paint people and animals that I know. My son then pointed to a painting of two nude models (a guy and a girl) and said "Yep, that's my mommy and daddy."
