-Apparently I wear too many casual knits (read: long sleeved t-shirts). Both of my children remarked on my "dressy" button down shirt, "Why are you wearing that today?" and "What's the occasion?"
-Little e has developed a somewhat tragic backstory for Ellie Phant. You see Bad Men stole her from the wild and kept her in a cage. They cut off her tail just to be cruel, and fed her rotten vegetables and fruit. Finally, after much abuse, I came and took her away from the bad men and gave her to Little e for safe keeping. (Why oh why, didn't I think to give her a tail?! What was I thinking?!)
I must admit to being shocked by this story when I first heard it. Ellie Phant looks so happy and sweet in her bright clothes... I guess it just goes to show that you can't tell an elephant's tale by her trunk.
-According to Little e elephants in Lumpy Land (where all of her elephants live in their free time) do math for fun. They love all kinds of math, except geometry, which they don't understand.
-Sisters can be jealous about anything, even oral surgery. "It's not fair Sweetheart G gets to have surgery!" Really? Fruit smoothies and a day off of school are worth pain, nausea, and a big hole in your mouth?
-Ten year olds have the ability to choose pain over nausea and roll with it.
-My superhero power of Vomit Catcher is still alive and well.
Me, "Wait! Is that Sweetheart G throwing up?!"
Big E, "Huh? I don't hear anything."
Me, "Yes, it is! Here I come Sweetheart G!"
It is a glamourous life I lead in my long sleeved T's.
