Duets

Did you know that you can sing "Three Little Fishes" -- "they swam and they swam right over the dam" -- at the same time someone else is singing "Five Little Ducks Went Out One Day"?

Buster arrived in Columbus full of beans. That was the shortest trip we ever went on, he said.

Sweetie, I drove for FOUR hours while you did this:

And then we made it here:

Tra, la, la, la, la!

Buster, from the back seat: I gave you a song, Nana.

Nana, driving: That's nice of you.

Buster, annoyed: Nana! I gave you a song! What did you do with it?

Nana, feeling guilty: I don't know, maybe I threw it on the floor by mistake.

Buster, kindly: We can look for it later. ... ... ... I wonder what it sounds like.

Winter wear

Buster: We need to get Mommy a new coat. She's about to grow out of that pink thing.

Sorry, kid, Mommy's not going to get any taller! But you will.

Buster, playing Legos: She's got an alien Haw! She's got an alien Haw!

Nana: What on earth are you talking about? What is a Haw?

Buster: How should I know?


Apparently it was a (butchered) quote from "Phineas and Ferb Live!" which he saw with his Aunt Kim. This is a photo he took of me in the role of Phineas:

Welcome to the Weekend

Buster and I went to the Opera House on Saturday night to see the Bad Boys of Dance. People are always so surprised to see him there. A lady behind us kept trying to engage him in conversation: Are you enjoying the show, do you want to be a dancer someday?

I poked him a couple of times, whispering, Answer when people speak to you.

He told her he wants to be a tap dancer. Like these guys:

Then he allowed as how he does hip hop. She looked polite, clearly not taking him seriously, so he gave her a hint: "There's no hopping."
