I'm on the patio typing, and watching Alanna splash in the pool, fully clothed. Rhys insisted on one last play day with the pool, and Alanna hopped in with all her clothes on after she got up from her nap. The thing is, a second ago, Rhys asked me, "Why is Alanna's shirt wet?" Ummm. What?!?!
Why is Alanna's shirt wet? (This sounds like a joke. Here's the punchline:)
Because she got into the pool with her clothes on...
I wonder if Rhys was trying to ask a different question? But what would he be asking?

Daddies
Just overheard:
"No, my Daddy is Big Daddy and you are Old Daddy!"
We're at my parents' house in Boulder, and Rhys was telling this to my Dad, otherwise known as Grampy.
We're having a good time!

Evil Asteroids
It's amazing how differently brains work. (As an aside, Rhys informed us a few days ago, "Everybody's brains are different. They're all different colors.") My experience today highlights the difference between a 34 year-old Mommy brain and a 5 year-old Boy brain.
This is our new seat cover for the desk/extra table chair:
I had a simple idea in mind, one that I didn't think would pose any problems. I asked Rhys to draw a family portrait on the white cover (in fabric markers), with the intention that this chair would then be a cute, story-worthy piece of furniture that would be unique and loveable. Well, it's unique. Here's the narrative (paraphrased): The big blue guy is Daddy. His mouth is going, "Aaahhh." Here's the asteroids coming to Earth, 1, 2, 3 [the pink, purple, and black scribbles with red fire lines showing they're falling from the sky]. Here's Mommy standing on top of the Evil sign. E is for Evil. Mommy and Alanna are red. They don't have faces. Alanna has short legs. The two robots are evil guys holding Daddy's arms and they live back behind the Evil sign. This is me [in yellow]. I'm wearing green armor all over my body and my head.
So. A family portrait. Illustrated by a Boy brain.
I wonder what color Rhys's brain is? And mine? I don't know if I want to ask him to elaborate on his theory...
I guess the chair is story-worthy, too.
