subterfuge

nothing to do with the post - just love that word. watching a documentary about the beatles and they used that word.

malachai asked my mother if she knew what beatles were and she, very proud of herself, went on to talk about the bugs. when she was all done he looked at her very curiously and said 'do you know that song they sing'

"you can't leave something out - it will get dead" - this was malachai's words of wisdom for today.

he also wrote his first letter today. no suggestion from us to write a letter and no help in the execution. he drew a backwards S and said 'look momma; i made a S'

he was also offended to the point of once again telling me that he was going to gam-gam's house. only this time he had a plan. he went to the stroller and said "i just need this" then he paused for a minute and said "i need someone to push me". i didn't want to laugh at his angst but . . .
