• @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. #

• Because Nem has a hard time with her Rs, she says Ws. She also transposes and copies difficult vowels, in "Dwiffewent." So cute 🙂 #

• Tia, as we watch an episode of STAR TREK TNG: "So nerdy. I can't believe you're inducting them to this." 4yo Nem: "Where's Princess Leia?" #

• @spam @MarvellaGano160 and THEN I get iphone spam (from a bot?) when I describe, via twitter, evil apps! #meta #irony https://t.co/huLP7SWb #

• On two occasions, two different iPhone apps marketed to kids have brought up pornographic ads/ads for such apps. I intercepted both, but– #
• Don't let your child play *any* game without screening it yourself first. BOO to irresponsible developers! Also, YAY to #netflix for kids! #

• My nephew's guess of a movie title in a game of charades: "Mr. Spock Goes to Town". LOL! #

• Far, far better bored than entertained but in the dark. #
• Nem cries for grandpa Riley Clark, whom she doesn't remember: "I miss him." Of Joan C. C. K., who died before Nem was born: "I miss her." #

• I don't remember how she introduced this, but I told Nem I'm writing a story, and she suggested "..a story about a dragon named Rover." #

• Last night, I pulled out Mago's first loose tooth, very loose and ready to go. It grew from his infancy. And it's gone. #

• Nemmy, yesterday, as I cross a room behind her, while she draws: "Daddy, sometimes whenever I see you I always want to hug you." #

• me, wiping ink off dolls face, "Good job, me. I mean, good job, saliva." Nem, "Hey! I name my dolls, not you!" #

• Nemmy (now 4yo) recieves and sends dictated emails from/to her cousins. So affectionate, straightforward, and sweet. I'm so charmed. #
• Nem, remembering a name Tia was forgetting (laughs): "My brain works, and yours doesn't! That's funny! But they're both yucky and smelly." #
• Mago: "I can't find Kai's spinjitsu. Niether can I find his dragon sword of fire." #legos #
