Mom, can I please take a picture of your nipples?
No. Why not take a picture of my face instead.
But I want to have a picture of them so I can remember what they looked like and that you had nipples when you are dead.
But what about the rest of me?
How about I take a picture of all your parts, then?
I am not going to die for a long time.
That’s true. How about on the day that are going to die I take pictures of all your body so I can remember it.
deal.
What would you like on you toast?
Only butter
Ok.
Only butter, because I hate everything in the whole wide world. Except for butter.
I’ll be Obi Wan Kenobi
Itchy:I’ll be Darth Vader
And I’ll be Spiderman.
later
I’m is Princess Leia and Batman mixed up together.
At some ungodly hour of the night.
Mommy?
*sighs* What?
I love you more than infinity.
Why are you having such a hard time falling asleep tonight?
Because I HATE falling asleep. And I HATE mornings.
Why do you hate mornings?
Because I only get two choices, toast with jam or cereal with milk.* And I HATE toast with jam.
But you like cereal.
But I HATE how it gets mushy and you say “get back in your chair or your cereal will get mushy” whenever I get up to play. And I HATE mushy cereal. I only like cereal with no milk.
Oh. But then we take Raphie to the bus and you get special time with mommy.
But then I ask “where’s Raphie” and you say at school, and then I miss him and I HATE that.
Some mornings are pretty miserable it’s true.
*totally untrue - she does usually only get two choices, but we never suggest toast with jam since she HATES it so much.
In the middle of the night.
Mommy, mommy!
*stumbles across hall*
Why do you need Mummy so much?
‘Cause her is my grown up.
Ummm Daddy? It smells like Jeremy down here.
*laughs* I love kids.
Yeah, kids sure are peaceful.
Wow Dee, you are getting so big!
So I can go in the ball pit at ikea now?
I’m hungry.
Did you finish your apple?
Yes.
a few minutes later
I’m done making the sandwiches. Raphie can you put the ham back in the fridge?
Umm, ok. But I have to close my eyes because I have a sneaky suspicion.
A sneaky suspicion huh?
Yeah. I have a sneaky suspicion that I didn’t finish my apple.
*looks in fridge. Sees half eaten apple sitting on shelf.*
When will I be big as Raphie?
Never.
One day. Sometimes it feels like it is taking a long time, though.
