Looking Out For Me
"Mom? Daddy has an office. My office is the park. Where's your office?"
"I guess my office is wherever you are."
"Oh... you should ask for your own office."

High Hopes
"You did a great job on the kick-board, buddy."
"Thanks. I'm so cold. Can you take off my goggles and give me my towel and can you help me put on my shirt and jacket and sweat pants and my sandals and give me my water, Mom?"
"Do you remember how many things I can do at a time?"
"One."
"That's right."
"Don't worry, Mom. Maybe you can do two at a time when you get older."

Close Your Eyes
"So Mom? Close your eyes right now. I have a surprise for you."
"I can't close my eyes right now baby, I'm driving."
"And that wouldn't be safe?"
"Right. But we're pulling in the driveway so I can close my eyes soon."
"The surprise is in the house so when we walk in just close your eyes then."
"Deal."
"Surprise! I made you The Empire!"
"It's perfect."

Lunch With Grandma

"Thank you, Mee Mee."
"You're very welcome. What nice manners you have, Bob."
"Mee Mee? Secretly I want to be a bad boy."
"A bad boy? Why do you want to be a bad boy?"
"It sounds fun. But secretly."

I am not writing this from the book-covered table in my Barcelona flat because I do not have a Barcelona flat. If I did, this one would do just fine.
Love this photo series of couples who have been married more than 50 years.
Adore this picture.

Oy, With the Music
"Mom? Is this music the rock and roll?"
"Yes, Little Grampa, it is the rock and roll."
"It's too loud for my ears."
"I'll turn it down."
"I think the singers from the jazz music have a better voice."

Overheard at the Pre-School Coloring Table
photo from here
This morning I was a class-parent at Bob's pre-school. I worked at the coloring table. This is what I heard...Sammy: I'm going to color my paper with rainbows. I love rainbows. They're the promise of God.
Becca: My parents told me there is no God.
David: Yes there is.
Sammy: I believe in God.
Becca: I believe my parents.
David: There is a God. He looks like oxygen and he made all of us, Becca. Even your parents.

What He Said
"So, Bob? When I pick you up from Brandon's house today I don't want to hear any whining. I don't want you to hide or try to negotiate more time there. When I get there, you have to be ready to pack up your Lego guys and go. What do you say?"
"I'll try."
"What is it that Yoda says?"
"Size matters not?"
"No, the other thing. The one about trying."
"Do or do not there is no try?"
"Yeah that. Please don't 'try' to have good behavior when I pick you up. I need you to just do it."
"Yoda's not my favorite. I like Anakin."

A fabulous moment with the Rat Pack plus Johnny Carson. (Johnny sings!)
Enjoy this one minute vacation in the Yosemite Valley.
I had nine different friends send me this fantastic commercial this week. No, it isn't Bob but I am posting it anyway.
Happy Sunday.

I Just Don't Get It
"So, Dad? I just don't get it.
"Get what, Bob?"
"When the baby grows inside the mama's tummy, how did it get there? I just don't get it."
"Well... to make a baby it takes part of a man and part of a woman together, but these are very small parts, like remember how we talked before about cells and how they divide? So one becomes two and two become four until they start forming into a baby. The baby stays in the mama for nine months until it gets ready for the world and then it comes out and grows up into a big boy, like Bob. Does that make sense?"
"So, Dad? Why would they make the droid control ship so easy for Anakin to blow up? He just flew in and blasted it and then all the droids didn't work and the war was over. I just don't get it."
"Well, Bob. That's what you call a plot hole."
