• Nem: Daddy, if you ever forget my teacher's name, just look right inside my school binder. #
• Nem: "Today, we read the Gingerbread Girl, and she was *way* thinking more smarter than the gingerbread boy." I laugh. Well, of course. #

• Nem, of any food she dislikes: " [tomatoes, etc.] are *not* on the list." #
• A maple sapling, maybe 2 years old, was seeded from who knows where, under driveway bushes & a big rock. Wow! I transplanted it to the yard. #

• You know what's good about the toothfairy? All the money she gives you is really shiny! #

• Saw 9 Persied meteorites with Tia betw. 11PM-1AM, Aug. 11th-12th, five of them spectacularly bright & fiery. The kids couldn't be awakened. #
• The kids asleep on the hide-a-bed, Nem's arm around Mago. http://t.co/8HSOMW2i #

• Before I forget again–or did I?–if you shout "Twenty-five Autumn!" while cycling/running, you go faster. At least, it works for Nem. #
• Also, the word is CONCERTRATE, not CONCENTRATE. According to Nem. Who is often interrupted while trying to CONCERTRATE. #
• If you're up, step out in the dark and watch the meteor shower. #

• Nem's mild observation, after a lullabye: "Wait . . . um, Daddy, that didn't actually put me to sleep." #

• We hunted and drowned maybe 180 snails @ Tia's parents' yard. #

• At 4 (almost 5), Nem taught herself to whistle simple melodies. She's 5 now, and recordings of this phenomenon are overdue . . . #

• My nephew was baptised, and afterward, & after everyone sang “I am a Child of God,” I (Alex) imagined someone shouted “PLAY BALL!” #
• Times like this I’m grateful to have any kind of Brain-to-Mouth Filter installed. Cuz’ I’d totally be there. I’d totally shout that. #
• Nem, after the baptism service meeting: “When we sang, [Mago] was only doing the actings of the mouth.”#

• Nem, last night: "But sometimes I forget what someone says, right as soon as quick. Even just the next time….And…what did you just say?" #

• I think it was last summer our pet goldfish Skike (named by Mago) died. The kids tried to find his buried carcass today. Nem misses him. #

• @ImaginaryZina what's illogical about elementary sadomasochism? This is simple stuff. Inflicting self-harm is fun! I'm very expert at it. in reply to ImaginaryZina #

• Any time I give Tia a hug, dear Nem perks up and runs to us, then stands eagerly on tip-toe, arms stretched up to us. #
