Just lick him
Thursday, December 6th, 2012Baby Why is a character. He has developed a full-blown personality already, and it’s a weird one. In other words, he fits right in.
The other day, he was growling at me and biting me. This is a fairly regular thing for him. In his defense, he may have learned it from mommy playing, “Eat the baby!”- a game that involves big sloppy kisses on ticklish ribs and belly. And yes, accompanied by growling and other goofy noises. Don’t give me those side-eyes! I know it’s weird.
Anyway, this particular day he found it even more hilarious than usual to attack the mommy. So I was playing with him, and I turned to Truck and joked, “Your brother is such a weird baby. Adorable, but weird…”
I half expected Truck to leap to Baby Why’s defense. Truck is a very loving big brother, and I didn’t think he’d stand for this teasing about his oh-so-amazing-best-baby-brother-EVER-baby.
But Truck, without missing a beat, or looking up from his book, says to me, “Well…then just lick him.”

Just lick him??
I still don’t even know what to say to that one.

Someone’s A Clown Anyway
Friday, October 5th, 2012One day, Truck and his teacher had a conversation about siblings. See, Teacher was telling the class about her older brothers. Truck piped up, “But, Teacher, you’re too old to have big brothers!”
So they were talking about it, and Truck is insisting that she can’t possibly have brothers! So Teacher asks, “Well, what about Miss Question…where do you think she’ll go when you guys grow up?”
Truck thinks for a minute. “The circus! She’s going to join the circus!”
Which…what? But, okay. So Teacher says, “Um, okay, but she’ll still be your sister when you guys grow up, right?”
“Oh, no, Teacher. She’ll be a clown!”
