"I'm going to teach Stuart his name. Stuart, your name is Stuart."
"We are the increasingly nonexistent family."
<laughter>
"I dunno. I feel increasingly existent"
"We are the increasingly rare family. I cannot be expected to be coherent before 7:30."
"I don't know why I think glow-in-the dark is so cool."
"Because it glows."
Johanna is shedding.
You see, a women's hair often grows quicker when she is pregnant. Johanna's certainly did. Sometimes, after birth, some of this extra hair will fall out. Hers is. In sheets. Well, not really. It isn't coming out in clumps, and there is no sign of her going bald any time soon, but the amount she loses every day is astonishing. This is the exchange I had with her on the topic:
"Honey. I don't mind if you go bald. I mean, I don't want you too or anything, but if you do, it will not change how I feel about you. The process, however, I mind."
"I know! Every time I do anything with my hair, I've got to pull it off my hands." (I wish I could show you the face and gesture that goes with this statement. It was most illuminating.) "I wash my hair and I've got to pull it off my hands. I rinse my hair and I've got to pull it off my hands. I get my hair wet to do it in the morning and I've got to pull it off my hands. I put gel in it and I've got to pull it off my hands, but now it's all sticky! Blech!"
I decided to dispense with the remainder of my complaint.
I love the internet.
We managed to find the costume again. The store Costume Craze had it in stock and in the right size! w007! I waited to tell you all till we got the shipping notification.
For those that forgot, here it is again.
So, there was a morning earlier this week where Tory was:
Now, since Tory was wearing her pirate shirt and pirate patch, some people assumed she was a pirate. Not so! She was still a cyclops, or as she put it "an ugly giant with only one eye." At lunch, the peas in her lunch were princesses, who then got eaten by the cyclops.
Tory has chosen her Halloween costume. She was going to be a pirate, but then there was the event at the optometrist. The assistant said "What are you going to be for Halloween?" Then without giving her a change to respond, the lady says "A princess?" That was all the convincing Tory needed. Joh was livid. She has visions of pirate themes for everything, and then gets a princess dropped on her.
