Julian is in KY for a whole week. SEVEN days. Ouch, my heart, it aches.
In good news, Luka is HILARIOUS. Today at the store, he pointed out a woman, a store employee, who had on a long white jacket (like a lab coat, almost), straight brown hair, and glasses, and asked, "Is that a witch?!"
"No, Luka, and it's not nice to say that," said I.
"She had glasses, though!" insisted Luka.
"Yes, lots of people wear glasses. Daddy wears glasses, is he a witch?" I asked my toddler.
"Nooooo.... he's a daddy!" (of course!)
So, I just told this story to Rob. Luka then went off-- "If there was a witch in our house, I would kick him out! And he would bite me!"
"Witches bite, Luka?" I asked.
"Yes, witches bite. And alligators bite people. Not hippos though. Not lions. Yes, lions. Cats don't bite people. They have teeth, though."
Also, as a running commentary, while I was typing this, with other random things in between bits of wisdom regarding witches:
"Witches are grandmas. If they scare grandmas, then they would get a time out. If I saw a witch on the wall, he would get a time out on the wall."
This is actually a very typical Luka conversation. It'll probably continue for weeks.
Also, he LOVES, passionately, John Prine's "Paradise". He gets most of the words right-- his version goes:
"My daddy won't take me back to Muhlenberg county by the green river where paradise lives.
I'm sorry my son but you're too late in askin, Mr. Peabody co' train has hauled it away."
