Calculus

Apparently butthole + butthole = 2 and poop + poop = butthole.

Soooo poop x 4 = 2?

I don't know. I try to keep up. The sad thing is, I totally get the kids' senses of humor, and I laugh (usually harder than them) at the things they say, because they just aren't right. But then sometimes, I think they are right and they are just messing with me, because I am gullible and airheaded and they think it is funny.

They are obsessed with things like the woman in flames on the side of the hot water heater, and, it puts me in an awkward spot, because how do you explain that? I try...sometimes Alya will ask if I am telling a lie. "No, Alya, in fact I am telling the truth....the water heater caught fire and the woman went down with it."

I mean I am not sure how you skirt those things, and the kids see straight through any attempt I make a subtely, so I get stuck....and they force me to share what Ioften feel quite certain is far too much ifnormation for 4 year olds.

But I find they don;t seem to have irrational fears or concerns, maybe that is a stage yet to come. I don't know. I just know we shoot straight around here and it seems to be a good thing.

I finally hung my grandmother's vintage handkerchiefs over Alya's window...I think a couple were hers and then I picked some up at antique stores years ago. They really look so cute!



I'm starting to dream of Halloween decorations...........




The kids got to spend the week with George and Joey last week...they spent Friday at the apple orchard and brought home apples and pumpkins!
