Father May You

Me: [Shakes keys]
Ellis: Dad, can you stop that?
Me: I can...
Ellis: May you stop that?

Smart Aleck

At dinner tonight Gordon said, "I hate when adults get smart alecky."

Monkey

Tonight, while tucking him in, Gordon told me, "I think that I am part monkey. I can squeeze very tightly with my arms and my legs. I'm only missing the tail and the fur."

I told him that he gets his "Monkey-ness" from his dad's side of the family.

Where the Wild Things Are

We are watching "Where the Wild Things Are". When Max runs away, Gordon looks at me and said, "That must have been terrible for his mom."

Tears of Joy

Tonight Gordon told me, "Mom, sometimes when I go to bed, I cry tears of joy because I think I have the nicest family in the world."
