Aldwyn: What?

Asmund: You're funny.

Aldwyn: No I'm not! I don't have a funny bone in my skin.

Eldric: I do not want to kill my body.

Aldwyn: Well then, I don't to listen to my body. 

Asmund: but what if but what if you need to go to the bathroom? Or you're hungry?

Eldric: I am ever hungry, but I am not hungry now.

Asmund: Well, if you don't have a body then what's the point of having dessert know you'll have no cake or ice cream or my delicious brownies

Eldric: ahh!

Aldwyn: okay, I won't kill my body. Wait, did my body say that?

Eldric: Yes!

Aldwyn: Dumb body! 

Notes from bedtime tonight

Eldric: I really really can't sleep. I only go to sleep on Christmas.

Eldric: I ate crackers but crackers don't last forever. That's why I only want to eat soft stuff. Ice cream is soft. Cake is soft too!

Eldric: Do you know what I see when I close my eyes?

Me: What do you see?

Eldric: I see nothing!

Raedan: When you were four you _weren't_ related to me.

Asmund: How old is dad? 50/50?

Nightmares

 Eldric,  "Mommy, I have nightmares that you and Aldwyn are running from a monster."  "Oh no, that sounds scary! Do you want to cuddle up with Aldwyn? Would that help you feel safe?"  "Yes! Maybe that will 'ahvince my body to have good dreams!" -Aldwyn and Eldric fall asleep in each other's arms.

Aldwyn: I'm allergic to gluten free!

Eldric: Do you know what I am getting for Christmas? It's a secret!

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!

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.

 

January 20, 2021

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.

 

  

 

 

Caught Mouse

Boswell caught a mouse. Raedan said, "oh poor mouse. Mouses are part of nature. " Asmund said, "yeah, but a very bad part of nature in a house! "
