Because Mommy and Daddy Fobble haven't paid the gravity bill.

Alternate answer: Well, it is, but because electricity is invisible you can't see it leaking out of the outlets and running down the walls and all over the floor. That's why you can scuff your good shoes on the carpet to collect up all the electricity that fell down there and then make a spark by touching someone's nose.

It's never too early to start screwing them up.

Mr. Fob told her that electricity wasn't a thing so much as a movement. He pushed her in the arm and said, "My arm is affected by gravity, your shoulder is affected by gravity... but that push you felt wasn't affected by gravity. Now go to bed."

I confirmed to Thor that he would be getting a new shirt and socks for his hockey team -with the pro team (Whalers) logo on it. He said "I'm frozen with delight" (in a non-sarcastic way). aaaawww.

"X = 7"

Thor again "we did algebra in class yeaterday X=7"
He won't be convinced that X represents an unknown, the answer is X=7, that's another great mystery of mankind solved then.

Thor again....

He took the bus home by himself for the first time today (he's 7). I went to meet it, but not early enough! He was already halfway home and running with a huge grin on his face. He told ne "I was just delighting in the pleasures of taking the bus by myself and my upcoming birthday"

"Delighting in the pleasures"........sounds like he and Princess (she's 6) could have a rather enlightening cnversation.

I asked whether she would rather have chicken or shrimp fo rdinner, she replied "Well mom, you know I am rather flexible, so either will do just fine."

My darling baby -who is very interested in sharks- drew me this beautiful pic during a lull in his sister's swim meet this afternoon. Isn't it fantastic? And if I'm not mistaken, he's a future dwellar in the making. Look closely. Why yes, it is. Always the stickler for detail, my boy.
