Long, long ago

Nana: I've been to Subway. But it was a long time ago (before my father had his stroke).

Buster: Everything you say was a long time ago.

Nana: It's not a long time ago now!

Buster: But it will be.

The LEGO fort

Buster and I spent hours yesterday building a fort for ... somebody. I appointed myself the engineer and went on building and building, while he and the rest of the warriors or whoever they were went to the grocery and the pet store -- doesn't it say something sweet about his character that he can't think of anything else for large dangerous men to do than run the most banal of errands?

When they came back, he discovered I had built the walls so high that we couldn't reach the rooms. So he had a burglar sneak in and steal the weapons and my beloved weather station.

At EDE

Buster: I don't like that music. It makes me think of something bad. I try not to think of it, but it comes into my mind.


Nana: What is it, sweetheart?

Buster: Never mind. I forgot.

The imaginary friend

Buster: What if I had an imaginary friend?

Nana: That would be interesting.

Buster: He would be invisible.

Nana: Oh, yes?

Buster: I'd have to think him up. I'll let you know if I think of him.
