4. Oh yeah.
He also does a great GWB imitation, where he stands up tall and picks his butt. Heh.

3. Oh no, he's a pacifist.
Besides, there's a better way to deal with cooties: http://youtube.com/watch?v=w6ylxWcwkUM :rofl:

7. Yes, but the girls can't get through the lines to give him cooties
if they have the high ground, lots of straws, lots of saliva, and extra paper to wad up.

5. Cool kid!
My kids do stuff like that, as well. My son defaced one of those Scholastic newspapers. There was a photo of Dick Cheney and my son wrote "I'm with Stupid" on his shirt, with the arrow pointing to Bush. The teacher cracked up and took it home to show her fiance. :rofl:

11. Too kind!
My kids have great genes from both sides of the family (in terms of intelligence, anyway :P ) but I'm also very lucky on top of that. Henry thanks you; I thank you!

19. Did Kira tell you
she and I talked of her political and dancing future?

When she is in Virginia she will become famous she told me, as a dancer and a politician.

I told her I'd vote for her illegally if necessary. :P

:rofl:

:hi:

24. Not more than an hour and a half ago
she said you were sleeping, I was wondering how you were

she said she'd wake you in an emergency, I didn't think I was having one or I'd go to the ER

:rofl:

:P

She never gave me a straight answer about where she was going, maybe she really thinks I work for the NSA and have her and Mr. Ohio under surveillance :rofl:

27. I'm upstairs... she's having a "last night' with the boyfriend
so I'm hiding myself away (but listening carefully). I did try to sleep but no go this evening. Mail from TB. Kinda fucked up.

Anyhow, she's going down with a friend to visit that friend's aunt and uncle, and she's going by bus and then train. Woohoo! Her first trip alone. It scares me to death but at her age I was living in New Zealand. If I could handle it, my clever girl surely can.

30. She's going to be famous, Crimmie
I believe her, a dancing politician is what we all NEED and she knows it!

That girl has a good head on her shoulders and she is funny.

Sorry you are kinda fucked up, although I'd read something to that effect on your blog and was trying to call you to lend you an ear (not a bunny ear though :rofl:)

cyclops? pawpicker, kitteh, pawpicker, cyclops?

cpkpc

symmetry at least :rofl:

25. He's the youngest of three.
I have finally figured out that his time with me is fleeting, and he is treasured as a consequence.

29. You know, I doubt it!
In this family, we draw, sing, paint, write etc. etc. But not Henry! Happily he's a great wit and is always making us laugh... he's into these impersonations and today he asked if I wanted to see him "in the future." I said yes, and he stood in front of me with his right arm extended and his hand in a loose fist. After a minute he said, "That'll be ten-fifty." "What are you?" I asked him. "A gas station attendant," he said. I always joke about how he's going to end up a gas station attendant if he doesn't do better in school... I think he's resigned himself. :P

38. That's a scary thought.
We cannot manage to drive well when the roads are clearly marked... imagine if there were no roads, but just Bush-lovers flying around looking for a good time. :scared:

40. Oh, sorry.
It's funny - I saw a movie with the flying cars... it had, what was Demi Moore's old husband's name? in it. The first thing I thought of when I saw him get into his flying car was oh shit. Bruce Willis! Gawd, my mind is a sieve.

That was a weird movie.

Flying cars or no flying cars, I always say oh shit when I see Bruce Willis in a movie. :P
