This morning, Noah and I were watching Arsenal's 7-3 drubbing of Newcastle in last night's Match of the Day, when Evie came
in, whose interest in football is at best dilettante ...
Evie: Theo Walcott? I thought he played for Chelsea
Daddy: No, he's an Arsenal player
Evie: Has he ever played for Chelsea?
Daddy: No. He's never been a Chelsea player
Evie: Has he been a sub for Chelsea?
Daddy: No, not even a sub
Evie: Man, I can't believe I thought that, this whole time ...

Funniest Part of One's Body?
Evie (full of ideas this morning): What's the funniest part of your body ... that you can play with?
Daddy (perplexed): Er ...
Evie: Your nose!
Daddy (relieved): Oh yes! Of course!
Daddy (perplexed): Er ...
Evie: Your nose!
Daddy (relieved): Oh yes! Of course!

Added salt ,,,
I think I'm correct in my belief that if you add the salt before cooking then it doesn't really count as salt ...

As we were finishing Boxing Day dinner, Sarah came into the room with her boyfriend Joe ...
Daddy (to Sarah & Joe): Would you like some food?
Sarah (adolescently dismissive): No thanks
Maman (maternally dismissive): They'll feed themselves with cornflakes
Joe (surveying the cereals): I can't even see any cornflakes!
Evie: You just don't get the sarcasm, do ya?
Daddy (to Sarah & Joe): Would you like some food?
Sarah (adolescently dismissive): No thanks
Maman (maternally dismissive): They'll feed themselves with cornflakes
Joe (surveying the cereals): I can't even see any cornflakes!
Evie: You just don't get the sarcasm, do ya?
Literally ...
Noah (nearly 9) has suddenly started using the
word "literally" ... but in literally every sentence. He started
literally yesterday. When I checked if he understands the word's meaning, he
couldn't explain it and yet he uses it in a superficially plausible way.
I think I'll wait a little longer before advising him that
he's literally wearing the word out.
