Overheard at work
D10 became D11 on 24 March. When I picked him up from school on the 26th, I had a present waiting in the car for him. Before he unwrapped it, he said 'Thank you! I don't even know what it is yet, but I know it'll be awesome because it's from you'.
Isn't that sweet?
(For the curious: I got him Smart Mass in the Alien Ooze colour, and a Glow and Throw UFO flying disc. He likes playing Frisbee and has quite a collection of Silly Putty, so I thought I'd help take him to the next level.)
Also, on 11 March, we were discussing space travel and the distinct lack of aliens thus far. As per usual, I started quoting Eddie Izzard - unbeknownst to him, as he's never seen Eddie.
Me: We've been ready for alien monsters! Not even a squirrel with a flute has turned up!
D10: Yeah! Not even a weasel that likes turnips!
I think he and Eddie would get along.
On 10 March, D14 offered his fist to his fishbowl for a fist bump, and Alfonso the guppy turned, approached him and waved a fin. Awesome.
On 27 February:
D14, over-enunciating in urgency: 'I'm hun-ga-ry!!'
Me: 'Really? I'm Belgium.'
D14: ... *headdesk*
