Want to play a hundred?
Mom, lets play a hundred. Hmm. I don’t know how to play that. Oh, it’s eeeea-sy! First I say a number and then you say a number, and then the one who says the biggest is the winner. Okay. Now, the youngest goes first, so I go first. Okay. Okay. Thirty-nine hundred jillion google thousand […]

One of the truly charming things that the toddler does is to shout out when he is really enthusiastic about something. Like, “I heard it! Bird, mommy, I heard it bird!” Or, “ant! I see it ant, mommy!” (He is fascinated by ants. Maybe because they’re down at his level, easy to see by just […]

Something funny has happened. The toddler is enaging in the Shriek more than ever. But he’s realized that people hate it, that it is not nice for others’ ears. So he says “sah-wee” (sorry) afterwards, sometimes. Well, until the last few days. Now he is saying sorry a LOT. And sometimes he seems to shriek […]

Mom, do I look like a teenager in this shirt? Um. Yes, you do. How did you know? Oh, it’s a big flappy shirt like teenagers wear. (Actually, it’s a hooded sweatshirt, unzipped, with no t-shirt underneath, so I hope he doesn’t look like that when he’s a teenager.)

Son: Come here! Mom: Just a sec, I’m trying on these shirts I got at the reduce-reuse-recycle store. Son: Okay. Mom: What do you think? (sporting long-sleeved black shirt with some sparkles) Son: (groan) I hate it. Mom: Well it would be good for going out dancing or something, don’t you think? Son: Oh, […]

The Shriek, revisited.
Actually, more like the shrieking, it’s a phenomenon and never just a single shriek. It is really, really loud and almost unbearable. Your ears hurt.
