Me: Let’s watch 101 Dalmatians!
Eli: Is there death in it?
Me: Maybe a little?
Eli: Oh good, because I love death.
Me: …
Math
[Counting the money in Eli’s wallet]
Me: You have two twenties. What’s 20 + 20?
Eli: Enough to buy a Pokemon big pack!
Me: 🤦
Two Pants
Eli: You know how sometimes you can wear shirts? What if you could wear two PANTS??
Kai: Uh, I’ve totally done that before.
Eli: Oh. What if you could wear a million SOCKS?!
Wedding Bells
Eli, to Joe:
I love you…but…you’re not married anymore. Momma’s married to me now.
If You Need Anything…
Yesterday morning, Eli wasn’t feeling well, so we decided to keep him at home. After breakfast, he went back to bed.
As I was tucking him in, this is the exchange that happened…
—
Me: Okay Eli, Mommy has to go walk the dog, so if you need anything, you can go get Lao Lao.
Eli: OR, Google.
—
Apparently, in his little 3-year-old mind, Google is an authoritative figure in our family. 😂😂😂
Photographing Kai’s Books
Kai is quite a prolific author/illustrator, so I finally decided to photograph some of his books. Eli decided to take some pictures too. Only he’s doing it with a calculator. 😂
Big Boy
Eli has recently started walking down stairs by himself.
Me: Ooh, Eli’s a big boy now.
Eli: I’m not a big boy, I’m Eli!
😂
Babá
Aunt Jane: Kai, what do you call your dad, Baba?
Kai: Yeah, but I say it more like Spanish – Babá.
😂
Kidneys
Kai: (kicking Joe’s back)
Joe: Stop! You’re hurting my kidneys.
Kai: (laughing) You don’t have kidneys, you have adult knees!
