The Not So Lonely Planet: Mutual Affection

Quoting Kids

Kai and Max are fighting over a skateboard. I tell them to sort it out. Kai has a brainwave "I know Max, lets cut the skateboard in half".

Max is thinking about a helicopter and tells us he's going to have one when he is older. Kevin inquires about when he would use it. He tells us, "Only in emergencies".

I was telling the kids about the fish I saw in the water while snorkling. Kai asks, "Did you see a Dorey fish (the blue fish in finding Nemo)?". I tell him I did. "Did it talk to you?" he asks innocently. I tell him it didn't. "Next time, you see it, can you ask it to talk to you?". He is too cute. I can't burst his bubble. I promised to try.

I took the kids to see Charlottes Web at Bumbershoot theatre. On the way home Max is thinking about the girl who played Wilber. "Mom will we ever see Wilber again?" I try my best to explain that the pig was a person acting like a pig. "I know but if we Wilber takes off her pig costume and drives by us, will we see her?" Kai is listing to all of this and decides it is time to really explain things to Max. "Maxi, we can't see the pig, because Pigs don't drive."
