Directions

A few minutes after I told Alex the directions to Chevy's (two lefts and then two rights) he said "Mom, you can't have two lefts and two rights. That's a waste of road. Only one left and one right. 10-8-08

College Plans

Mom: What college do you want to go to?
Alex (laughing): It's not time go to college.
Mom: Right, right. When it is time to go to college where do you want to go?
Alex: William Mary
(Hmmm, I think a long time ago I may have mentioned William and Mary as the college where John Stewart went. The things he remembers and then brings up. Amazing.) 12-8-08

Wheels or Not?

After a truly thrilling story that I made up about an elf who runs out of wheels to put on cars, Alex suggested that they make boats. I said "what about airplanes or helicopters?" He responded, "airplanes have wheels, helicopters have skis." 12-1-08
