Upon figuring out we were underground while eating at a cafe, Elijah says, “that’s the best thing ever. no, Science is the best thing ever; [being underground] is the second best thing ever!”
Apparently, I have a young science enthusiast.

Out of the Mouth of Babes
Tonight at around 10pm we were playing a game which E started. This game consisted of a ball of yarn being tossed back and forth with the tosser ‘naming’ his toss (i.e. “this is my ‘super’ toss). Game starts out in my office with E jumping on the large chair* and me sitting in my computer chair. The game eventually travels down the hall and into his bedroom. Again, he is jumping while tossing, but this time on his bed and I am standing opposite him in the middle of the room. This is an hour later by the way!
Michele: “I am running out of tosses. I think I am going to have to call it quits.”
Elijah: “Quit! I’ve got a 1001 tosses in my head.”
M: “Yeah, well, you are young and have an infinite imagination. I am older and do not…as people age, they often lose their imaginations. Thankfully, we can have children and reclaim some of it.”
E: “Oh…maybe you should try having a few more children!”
M: “Maybe I should”
E: “Yeah, like a 1001 so that you never run out of tosses”
I wonder how the hubby would feel about 1001 kidlets!?!?
* Elijah informed me that jumping is how he thinks. I find this interesting, because I remember having a friend who used to have me drill her on things before a test in high school with her jumping on the trampoline, otherwise she wouldn’t remember as much for the tests. E is definately a mover and a shaker, not one to stay still for very long at all. I’m glad that he isn’t going to school or I’m sure he’d be the ‘problem child’ and be labeled with all kinds of ‘learning disabilities’, because moving helps him think and moving in school is shall we say, not allowed.
