God's way

On the way to pediatrician’s office ,pick up at the school didn’t go very smooth. We walked out to the car and realized he left his stuff behind

Mom : Elvish ,I asked  you  to get your back pack from the cubby ?

Elvish : Oops ! I forgot

After getting into the car,

Mom : Why aren’t you closing the door ?

Elvish : I forgot

At the pediatrician’s office,he again left the door open after getting out

Mom : You are doing it again ,you left the door open

Elvish : I forgot

Mom : You must be getting old.You seem to be forgetting more like a really old man

Elvish : Mom,look at me .Do I look old ? I was “brung” into this world this way by God.

Mom : What does that mean ?

Elvish : I am just different!

Shock absorber

Elvish and Tolkien exchanging notes on exercise after a marathon in school

Tolkien : I ran 31 laps today.I am exhausted.

Elvish : Really?Is that a long distance?

Tolkien : Yes,that’s a long run .That means I got plenty of exercise today and I may not go biking with you this evening

Elvish : But you said , if we don’t exercise enough you get fat and die

 Having overheard enough,mom speaks up

Mom : Well,you don’t die,but it isn’t healthy to not exercise. Your heart is as small as your fist and you need to give it enough exercise for it to be healthy .

Elvish : But Tolkien told me about a boy who didn’t exercise and died . 

Mom : Well its important to have a sound body and mind .Tolkien what do you get when you have a sound body and mind .

Tolkien , quite unprepared and wanting to make a big point

Tolkien : mmmm You get good “Shock absorption “

Go figure !! I think she meant you are in a better shape but yes its not a bad idea to have great “Shock absorption “ J

My spelling bee

Last evening , I was working with Tolkien on a spelling list.Just to add some challenge ,I said
Mom : can you spell the word abbreviation ?
Tolkien : what does that mean ?
Mom : It means a short form of a word or phrase
Tolkien. : Mmmm
Mom : So do you want me to pronounce it for you? Or can you spell it already ?
Tolkien : mom, have you wondered though abbreviation means short form it's such a loooong word

My circle

 Mom and Elvish,talking over breakfast this morning  

Elvish : Mom,do you have friends ?

Mom : Yes I do. A whole bunch of them .

Elvish : Are they cool ?

Mom : Yes they are .My friends at work and really super cool and design machines and do a  lot of big math problems.

Elvish : Mmmm ..do you have any others?

Mom : Yes I do ! My friends outside of work are super smart and they do a lot of fun things .

Elvish : So what do you friends do ?

Mom : Well,my friends work at Siemens,Texas Instruments,Google,HP,Texas Med,and some are educators etc .

He didn’t look super thrilled . After a few moments of deep thought and with no intention to be outwitted ,

Elvish : I think my friends are probably better and cooler than yours.

Mom : Why ?

Elvish : Well,they work in outer space,can fly, lift cars ,buses and trains,break down buildings with their hands ,vanquish bad guys , restore peace and wear awesome clothes to work  .

He was referring to Star wars, Captain America,Power Rangers and the Hulk. He takes his relationship with his toys rather too seriously J
