I was just reading my 'help date' thread, and M was looking on. She sees Limer's av and says "Hey, that looks like the Fred I played with at Detroit". She sees Meadra's kitty playing with yarn and says, "look at the kitty jumping on the ball". Then she sees Sillypunk's thingy from Bone and says, "Look, ghost kitty. Or is it a dog? Is it a ghost dog, Papa?" Finally she sees DM's Dr. Who avatar and says, "Is that one of the Jonas Brothers?" Big Grin I don't think she has a clue who the Jonas Brothers are, or if she's even seen them, but she's heard a couple of the girls at school talk about them (obviously) and the fact that she said it about DM's Good Doctor made me laugh!

Thomas has discovered a) timers and b) extortion:

If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend!

How old is he?

Graeme has discovered this too. My mom has her old digital camera that he is allowed to use when we are at her house and he loves to use the self-timer to take pictures of himself.

Devlin has not yet discovered the timer thingy and so he just holds the camera at arm's length.

Oooo. I think he's coming six. He never got the chance to play with it until I had a tripod. I think Victoria will be the photographer though.

So about the same age as Graeme, who will be (sob!) six in Dec. Where has the time gone? He starts kindergarten in just over a month!

My 5-year old likes to incorporate writing into her drawings. She's bilingual, and has trouble keeping separate the different ways Dutch and Finnish are spelled. She also keeps mixing up her P's and B's.

So. Before the holiday, I went to collect the drawings she'd made at school this semester. There was one depicting Cinderella, or "Assepoester" in Dutch.

The careful lettering above the princess's head: "Assbuster".

*facepalm*

You have to keep that one! Genius!

I think my six-year-old - who goes to quite a tough school - is likely to learn "assbuster" all too soon himself.

Ha! That's brilliant Tis! My lil guy has decided that since he can't have a DVD player that will combine two movies (You stick two DVDs in and the machine will magically combine them, so that you can have Transformers and Star Wars together) that he would do it himself. So he's drawing a sort of storyboard of what he calls "Transforming Star Wars"

You need to go through a few more husbands and have a lot more kids if that's the case, Maeve.

And yes, the socks are awesome. Its one of the reasons I said OK. We got six pairs of knee-highs in all. She's certainly developing her own taste.

What a sweetie in such socks!

Okay, so on long tube journeys, of which we have a fair amount, me and kidlet play games. Kidlet's current favourite is hangman, which since his spelling is still at the, ah, idiosyncratic stage, is eventful when it's my turn to guess. We occasionally vary it with maths puzzles. I didn't realise that he hadn't started multiplication in school yet (kidlet is six), so on Friday's tube journey I put a few of them in there. He got 9 x 9 instantly, but struggled, really struggled, with 1 x 3. Which confuzzled me completely.
