“Daddy,” says Micah, inviting me to play marbles with him. “Let’s be a teamwork!”
Today Sarah brought the kids to the dollar store to buy a few things. Micah saw a necklace made of glowing Christmas lights, and he said, “I want to buy that for Dad.” So he spent his own money to buy me a random gift. 😭😭😭
Micah comes downstairs having just dressed himself in shorts and a t-shirt. “Daddy! I dressed myself in short-sleeve shirt and short-sleeve pants.”
Micah pleads for another piece of Halloween candy. Sarah relents, then Micah turns to me and says, “Mommy said ‘sure’! Better be quick.”
Micah on Halloween candy: “Whoppers are so fun because they can whop in your mouth.”
We drive past an empty lot where prairie dogs have taken over. Brinley exclaims, “Ooh! …ground… hogs. Wait, what are they called?”
“Prairie dogs.”
“Prairie dogs are the worst word because people can always forget the name.”
Micah asks what day it is.
“What today is tonight?”
Micah is singing a song while riding his bike. He stops next to me, asking, “Hey dad, do you like my song? It’s called Air in Your Eyeball.”
He sings it as he zooms away.
Brinley: They should separate pee and poop.
Me: Um… what?
Brinley: Pee and poop sound too similar. They should call pee… pellevity.
Micah is at the playground singing silly songs full of nonsense words. I ask him what he’s singing about. “Crimes,” he says cheerfully.
