The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Yummy Yesterday
Yesterday:
Punk: "Do Cousin Coral!"
Me: "Coral, Coral bo boral, Banana fana fo foral, Me my mo moral! Coral"
Punk: "Do Cousin Zane!"
Me: "Zane, Zane bo bane, Banana fana fo fane, Me my mo mane! Za-ane. Punk, do you know that Cousin Zane is Cousin Coral's brother?"
Picture this: Long face (the one with the orange hair), round mouth, eyes like golf-balls, intake of all air in the van at once, slowly turning to a delighted smile.
Punk: "YUMMY!"
I just about busted a gut laughing!
Punk: "Uh, dat's not right. I mean... pre-y good."
Right now:
Punk is playing his toy drum set, but I also hear piano music. I glance over. He is literally playing his toy piano (on the floor) with his toes. Pitiful little one-man-band. Oh buddy, you need some sibs!

Talk To Me
I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
Stalkers, Caught Red-Handed!
