Lollipops

 Asmund, "Mom, can't we watch Keeping Up Appearances?"

"No, I'm enjoying listening to your brothers play." 

"I'm not. They're loud and noisy. All I want to hear are British accents and canned laughter. "

Eldric: Can I get getting married lollipops and give them to people like T?

Me: What are getting married lollipops?

Eldric: They are lollipops with red hearts and the sticks have to be yellow on them.

Me: Why do the sticks have to be yellow?

Eldric: Because it is a marry lollipop! It has sweet things in it, like sugar!

Eldric: "I'm rich! I have twenty-two dollars!" Holds up card with pictures of money, to help learn about counting.

2021 so far

 

Asmund was heckling Wystan as he tried to listen to his math instruction. Wystan pointed the remote at Asmund, "If only you had a mute button."

When I asked Aldwyn what came next in his story, he said, "let me see what my clock body says" then put a pencil on his belly, and turned it like clock hands.

 

Eldric: "I'm rich! I have twenty-two dollars!" while holding up a card with pictures of money meant to be a way to learn counting.

 

Eldric: When I am big I can name myself something else. Like Dennis Etzel Jr.

 

Eldric: Are you old? When you are old you have the creaks.

Another mild day, another hike. Asmund told me about expatriation of native animals. Wystan found interesting lichen. Raedan found four chairs off the trail, and declared that they were witches in disguise and shouldn't be touched. Aldwyn and Eldric ran the entire trail.
