April / May Photos

Show and tell at school. A was very excited.



















I believe the quote was, "You'd better work!"


















One of many Mr. Moneybags poses.



















Although all of the Calvin and Hobbes books have been locked in a vault, A seems to have taken a page from the Calvin school of photography.

Please Don't Let Me Be One of Those Parents...

Scene: The park. A is running of with H to a far corner from the sandbox area, where the parents are.

J (yelling across the park): "A, come back; we want you to stay near us."

A (yelling back): "No. H says I have to go around the pool."

J (realizing he's yelling across the park): "H is not your father. Let's not yell this discussion across the park."

A: "Let's!" (turns to run after H...)

...and as the Fox in the School Play...

A's class put on a play last Friday. The parts were assigned randomly by "The Sticks of Destiny!" (which explains some utterances at home). Friday, the Sticks of Destiny said that A would be the Fox.

Kissing

Scene: Preschool. A has just kissed G (another boy), prompting a classroom-wide discussion of how it's okay to kiss your family, but that friends at school should only be hugged so we don't spread germs.

A (to G's Mom, who coincidentally has been reading to the kids): "But what if we kiss people accidentally?"

Scene (later that day in the playground):

G's Mom (to me): (Laughs) "Boy, I can see him in a few years in the bar: 'Sorry darling, that was an accidental kiss.'"
