M fell over on her way into school this morning.
There were a couple of tears, but not many, despite it being quite a large graze. No blood - and that is what tend to trigger the tears. That and shock.

Mum thinks the lack of upset was because they were so close to school. M told Mum that she would go in and see the Doctor. Mrs B is not just a Teacher, she is a Doctor. Not a Doctor who works in a hospital, but a special Doctor who works in a school.

This is lovely, because Mrs B is actually a Classroom Assistant with a certificate in First Aid.
It shows 1. how important we are to children of this age and 2. how much faith they put in Mrs B.

I've menaced SonofV this week with threats of zomblebees. It is humorously effective.

Can't quite distinguish their voices from not-undead (living dead? argh.) bees. "Bzzzzzzzzzzzz". Yeah.. not gettin it.

I was sitting here looking at The Cellar, and Max came and sat next to me and said, "I see dolphin", to which I of course responded, "No, it's a shark". What makes it funny is that I wasn't even looking at a thread with images.

Poor Max is going to grow up confused about the whole shark/dolphin difference. This could have ... consequences.

I was scratching my nephew's back for him. He pulled his shirt up and told me to scratch inside. He looked in the mirror and saw his nipple. He went, "Huh?" Put his finger on his nipple and said, "Flea mountain." I was like, "Flea mountain?" He replied, "Yes, flea climbs on mountain." I was cracking up inside but tried not show it. Should I have told him it's called a nipple? Frankly, I got no idea where he got that term.

Have Max and Coco (the dog) had any fun interactions recently?

Cleo? They're always doing something silly. lol When he's outside, she follows around after him all the time. One of the phrases I hear very often is, "Go way Cleo!" Max pronounces it key-o though. He's not to good with L sounds just yet. It's pretty funny because it's often accompanied by a shove from him, but she's so tall he can't even see over her back now.

That is so cute.

What happens when Cleo is otherwise occupied? Does Max then go and see what she's up to?

She's never otherwise occupied when he's outside.

Last night, a kitten accompanied me along the street from the bus-stop for about 3 houses. I thought it was going to follow me home, but it must have jumped through the fence into one of the yards.

At the doctor's office, trying to entertain Minifob with the only book on hand: oversized, full-color anatomy diagrams. So we're looking at the page about the urinary system, and I'm explaining how his juice goes into his stomach and through his kidneys, etc. and comes out as pee-pee. The diagram included some blood vessels as well, and down the middle of the picture were the major artery and vein of the abdomen, color-coded red and blue as usual.

Minifob yells out, "Oh! I know! And this tube is for the hot pee-pee, and this one is for the cold pee-pee!"

I've been wavering on posting this story, but it's just so funny.

My nieces cousin took two of the girls shopping. Dr Cuz just got her MD. She is pretty and young. I hate her. Just kidding, she's great. She was getting a dress for a function and the girls were running dresses back and forth to the dressing room.

The just turned 6 year old said, in I imagine a stage whisper, "L....you need to pull your underwear out of your butt!" L replies that they're supposed to be like that. A says "NO, they are IN YOUR BUTT!" L replies that it's a thong and that's how they're supposed to be.

A says "Well...that's just gross!"

HA! My girl!
